I would imagine forward them. But if you think about it, to prevent possible
issues if the servers being forwarded to are not properly secured, you can
just opt to use the Roots.

If you mean under the Advanced tab or the resolvers, no, because that will
stop it from responding as a forwarder from the internal network. But you
can disable recursion on the advertisers so no one else uses them to forward
to since they are only responding for zones it is authorative for.

Cool. Let us know how you make out.
