have unbound send queries to another server, an authoritative server, to
fetch the information. With a forward\-zone, unbound sends queries to a server
that is a recursive server to fetch the information. With an auth\-zone a
zone can be loaded from file and used, it can be used like a local\-zone

information from when resolving like it is an upstream server. The
forward\-zone and auth\-zone options are described in their sections below.
