Your machine is the dns client (or libraries in its OS are).  The
resolver(s) it has configured should be recursive in that they will
recursively ask questions of other nameservers.

The option controlling this is "allow-recursion" which you normally
put in /etc/bind/named.conf.options.  You should give it an acl to
say who can recurse (giving recursive access to the whole Internet
is generally a bad idea).

Cheers,
Andy
