Check the "Do not use recursion" box on the Forwarders tab to prevent the further use of recursion. The root hints are being repopulated by the DNS servers, you can get rid of them if you're prepared for a fight but they're there for a good reason. The check box I mentioned achieves a more desirable end result.

Is this something that replicates between DNS servers, or will it just not allow our root hints to be blank? Our firewall is a DNSD server and so we forward everything to the firewall for external DNS lookups, but since the roothints keep populating on our Win2k DNS servers, the firewall is generating huge amounts of logs from the internal Win2k servers trying to do external lookups.
