this is what the comment says... 

    // If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
    // its IP address here, and enable the line below.  This will make you
    // benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the
    Internet.
    /*
            forwarders {
                    127.0.0.1;
            };
    */

but i don't understand what this means?  what do i use to replace the
127.0.0.1?  do i replace it with both my ISP's domain name server ip
addresses?

what are forwarders?
