IMO checking 'Forward first' when value is missing is correct. 'Forward 
first' is default in BIND so It tells admin what is the effective value 
and therefore admin doesn't have to remember what are the defaults.

There is one case when it would make sense to leave it unchecked. That 
is when no Global forwarder is set. 'Forward policy' is not used in that 
case.
