How can I configure BIND to forward all unknowns to another DNS server?

Very simple, open named.conf and under the options add the forward and forwards directives:

options {
  ...
  forward only;
  forwarders {
    1.1.1.1;  # first DNS server
    2.2.2.2;  # second DNS server
    ...
  };
  ...
}
