Mixing Circulators and Zone Valves - Check Valve Locations

in THE MAIN WALL
When using both zone valves AND a circulator where do the check valves go? For instance my setup would be 1 Circulator for the Indirect and 1 circulator going to 2 zone valves for my two heating zones. My assumption is that the IHW circulator keeps its built in check valve and I am good to go. Do I need any check valves on the return side?

    Normally the check valves in the circulators are all you need

    Thank you! Should I be concerned about the water moving through the indirect when the pump is off? Or is that a rare situation that can be addressed if needed?
