I've noticed the support in ARM for specifying both the "forward" and

is the purpose and value of specifying such? It seems contradictory
and confusing.
Yes, it is confusing IMO, but "forwarders { };" is how you turn off
forwarding for subzones of a slave or stub zone, if you have forwarding
defined at a higher level of the hierarchy, or globally (i.e. in the
"options" statement). That's why it's allowed in a slave or stub definition.
I've always thought this should be made more explicit, e.g.
"forward-subzones yes|no", or "inherit-forwarding yes|no", but hey, I
didn't get a vote on that...
