I have BIND working on Windows Server 2003. i want to forward my queries to another server. Recursion is working but forwarding is not working. can u guide me to set it. i've given the following in the options:

options { 
       directory "c:\named\zones"; 
       allow-transfer { none; }; 
       forward only; 
       forwarders { 8.8.8.8 ; }; 
       recursion no;
};

is the format for forwarding correct in the above.

if not what is the format. Am i to give any port number in the forwarders line? Does forwarding have any particular port number?

Thank You in advance....
