This is not a valid configuration. Servers are authoritative for whole
zones. If a name is not in the zone, the server believes definitively that
it doesn't exist, and will never forward.
If your box is just supposed to be authoritative for a handful of names in
the domain, you could put them each in their own zone, e.g. instead of
zone "domainxyz.com" { type master; ... };
do:
zone "testbox.domainxyz.com" { type master; ...};
You'll need to make a separate zone file for each name that's being done
like this.
