Hahahaha, why didn't you say so! J/K
Sure, the DNS lookup server list specifies the name servers that the system uses to validate DNS lookups, and resolve host names.
The BIND forwarder server list specifies BIND servers that the system can use to perform DNS lookups. BIND allows you to cache and store DNS requests and responses on a local server and minimize DNSserver requests, and bandwidth.
So what this is really saying is that the DNS lookup server list is for system specific name resolution. The BIND forwarder server list is for name resolution for external entities if using the BIG-IP as a name resolution source.
