The text states that the DNS server will ignore delegation and forward queries to its forwarders. In Microsoft Knowledgebase articl
e Q182227, this problem is listed as fixed in NT4 SP4.

Using servers running Windows 2000 SP2 and Network Monitor, I confirmed that the DNS server correctly passes such queries to the de
legated servers and does NOT blindly pass the query off to its forwarders.
