Yes, in BIND a forward server must be a recursive server. If you want to
configure specific addresses for a zone's authoritative servers in BIND
you need a static-stub zone configuration, which is like Unbound's stub
zone configuration. (BIND's stub zone configuration is weird and not
usually what you want.)

See also the forwarding-related definitions in RFC 8499 "DNS terminology".

Lough Foyle to Carlingford Lough: Southeast becoming variable 3 or 4, then
north 5 or 6. Smooth or slight, becoming slight or moderate later. Fair then
occasional rain overnight. Good, occasionally moderate in east.
