it is not actually a pure caching server (at least I didn't wanted it

dhcp+dns server to give the IPs to the machines in the LAN, and to use the dns
server to resolve the local server using db.server.local and db.192 files.
db.server.local wasn't in your config and your query is for
www.server.org, myserver.org was listed in your config file.
I understand that "forward only;" will not hurt but, right? After
setting it, I do the dig and I get:
Setting it to forward only means that anything that the server is not
authoritative for it will forward to the specified servers.
Actually -- small correction -- it's the "forwarders" statement that
triggers _that_ behavior. Forward only/forward first is just a
refinement of what happens if the forwarders are unresponsive (as
implied in the remainder of your paragraph).
Some additional semantic nitpicking...
If you do
not have that set then there are occasions where your DNS server will
go to the Internet root and start to search for the requested record
recursively,
I think you mean "iteratively" here.
if you're fine with that then is there a reason why you
are forwarding requests to other DNS servers?
I think you mean "iterating" rather than "forwarding" here.
End semantic nitpicking :-)
why not just allow your
local DNS server to handle the whole resolution process?
Totally agreed. Forwarding should not be added to a named.conf unless it
is well considered and justified. "Will not hurt"? It very well *might*
hurt. It often *does* hurt.
