Today, I just set-up a new zone of type "forward" but I have trouble to make it work properly:
- my home network is allowed to send queries because it is "trusted"

As you can't have "allow-query" in a zone of type "forward", I don't find any nice solution.

You can and you also need to add allow-query for it.  However, since forward
zone is not stored locally, all requests for it are fowarded, so you must
allow recursion for the zone, if you want to allow everyone to use it.

This is what I wanted to do. But allow-query and allow-recursion are not allowed inside a zone of type forward.

aha. I haven't looked at possibbility of allow-recursion for "type forward"
zone. allow-query still seems to be supported, even if it ouldn't forward...

That's why I'm looking for another solution.

Now I have a question, why do you want people from outside to access forward
zone? can't you slave it instead?

At the beginning I wanted to detect some specific DNS queries on my BIND.
Those queries are dummy (answers too...). It's used by some IoT devices to send "heartbeats" by using open access points with captive portal (usually, DNS queries are sent even if you don't authenticate).

IoT devices in your network should have recursion allowed.

So my first idea was to use BIND logging capabilities, but that's not applicable because BIND only log everything or nothing.

So, I decided to write my own DNS server which would detect those queries, and because I have only 1 IPv4, I would let BIND forward the queries to my custom server (running on the same IP but another port).

Thus, slaving is not possible, as queries would be seen only by BIND.

because of caching by BIND, the other server would only see some of those
queries too.

However, if you want to find out what traffic do your IoT devices send, you
could try capturing or duplicating their traffic on router...
