Yes... in the early days folk's DNS servers were almost always recursive which meant you could use them as your general purpose DNS. But obviously, that could cause problems so usually your server will just server up the zone data for which you are authoriatative for (unless configured to operate recursively based on some rule...e.g. what network you're currently on).
Enjoy!
