That is right. I just wanted to be extra verbose. You remember the time when 
spamhaus.org got removed from some big DNS servers because of some obscure 
juristic thing going against them in the states? Well way back then one of the 
ways to still use spamhaus.org was to directly hardwire those forwarders into 
the zone definition.

Off course omitting those forwarders inside the zone definition will force BIND 
to figure out the name servers of the domain and use that.

Just yesterday I had one user on a mailing list that is hosted on SourceForge 
and where I have admin rights complaining that he could not send mail to the 
list. He was claiming that he has subscribed weeks ago and that out of the blue 
he is not able to send mails to the list. He was able but he needs to subscribe 
in order to be able to post.

Anyway... to make the story short: He got removed by mailman after a bunch of 
NDR. Looking at his name servers showed a (in my viewpoint catastrophic) mess.

This is a part of the mail text from me to him:
=================================================
I see as well that your domain is on the DNS level not set up correctly. Maybe 
on purpose?

If I query the NS entries of your domain from my infrastructure then I get (I 
masked his domain with XxXxX):
-----------------------------------
theia ~ # dig +short in ns XxXxXxX.com
ns1.setupsite.com.
ns5.eapps.com.
ns1.eapps.com.
ns2.eapps.com.
ns6.eapps.com.
theia ~ #
-----------------------------------

Doing the same from an cable provider in Switzerland I get:
-----------------------------------
netbox ~ # dig +short in ns XxXxXxX.com
ns1.setupsite.com.
ns2.setupsite.com.
netbox ~ #
-----------------------------------

Doing the same from an hoster in Germany I get:
-----------------------------------
janosch ~ # dig +short in ns XxXxXxX.com
ns2.setupsite.com.
ns1.setupsite.com.
ns1.eapps.com.
janosch ~ #
-----------------------------------

Even their serial is not in sync (from my system):
-----------------------------------
theia ~ # dig +short in ns XxXxXxX.com|sed "s:\.$::"|while read foo;do echo 
"${foo}:
$(dig @${foo} +short in soa XxXxXxX.com)";done
ns6.eapps.com: ns1.eapps.com. root.cp.eapps.com. 2009050101 7200 3600 604800

And now back to that spamhaus.org zone file. Yes. You are absolutely right that 
you don't need to specify those forwarders. But since the OP had issues with 
DNS it could be well possible that he would have better result/success by 
hardwiring those forwarders.
