What is the role of the 'name' parameter for forward-zone?

[George Thessalonikefs]

Hi Gerben,

The name is the name of the zone.
Everything at and under that zone will be forwarded to the configured 
resolvers (unless more specific stubs/forwarders are configured).

"name: ." means the root zone, so everything is going to be forwarded.

Best regards,
