If they are advertised via DHCP they have to be recursive, otherwise stub resolvers would not work :-) The key thing to look for is the RA bit (recursion available) in answers you get from the server. The servers can also be authoritative with AA=1 (authoritaive answer) for some zones, but that won't prevent you from using them as forwarders. For choosing between the alternatives I should have been more precise and said you have to use static-stub instead of forwarding if the target server is "authoritative-only" (i.e. RA=0). If you use static-stub the target server must be authoritative for the zone, regardless of whether it offers recursion.
