Easy... don't disable recursive lookups. Without recursive lookups, your DNS server will only respond to queries about things that it knows... i.e. the dns entries hosted on your server.
In order for it to resolve domains that it knows nothing about, it must go and do a recursive lookup using other dns servers.
