I should have answered this more fully I think because it does seem reasonable. I had this idea once and tried it. But it didn't work the way I had thought it would. Instead of the non-recursive DNS server forwarding an initial query to another DNS server that would do recursion I actually ended up at the next alternate DNS server. So I then tried removing all alternates but I never made the non-recursive DNS server forward the recursive query - just timed out and never got an answer period. So maybe there is a way to make this work but I never discovered in practice how to do it. I tried it with Microsoft DNS as well as another DNS program but I may have had something wrong in both cases.
