Depending on your configuration. DNS server caches queries most commonly asked 
for/resolved. So in a way, it will forward after it has checked cache and 
failed to find an entry.

Can someone definitively answer this question... 

If using forwarders on your W2K DNS server, does the forward lookup occur first 
or after the DNS server fails to resolve the name?
