I read on technet that you can disable recursion for a specified zone and
still use forwarders. Essentially, I want to use forwarders for all queries
except for 3 zones on my DNS servers. Can anyone tell me how to disable
recursion for a particular zone without disabling it for the whole server?

That is not precisely correct but there are ways to
approache it, and depending on what you want
exactly there are more choices in Win2003 DNS.

The Forwarding is technically set for the WHOLE
Server (not a zone).

With conditional forwarding we can however specify
those three zones, to forward to one (or more) specific
servers and leave the general forwarding setting for
the Internet.

The more specific will only be used (conditionally)
when it is MORE specific.

Their are ways to trick it for Win2000 but they aren't
as clean.

Zones or domains?
Technically, if you have a zone for a domain you have disabled recursion for
that zone, The server either has the record or it doesn't, it is a simple
lookup and recursion is not needed.
