Unfortunately, stub doesn't work in this case. The "forwarders" directive
sends any query that can't be satisfied from the name server's cache or
authoritative data to the designated forwarders name server(s) for
resolution. A name server with a forwarders directive will not follow NS
records to get to other zones. Since the stub directive only imports NS
records from the target zone, it doesn't work in this situation.
