Get rid of `forward first;` and replace it with `forward only`. Here is a 
snippet from the bind 8/9 DNS-HOWWTO:

The default setting is "forward first", which first asks each of the forwarders, 
and then tries the normal approach of doing the legwork itself if that fails. 
This gives the familiar behaviour of gethostbyname() taking an inordinately long 
time when the link is not up. (or full as in your case) But if "forward only" is 
set, then BIND gives up when it doesn't get a response from the forwarders, and 
gethostbyname() returns immediately.

Worth a try...
