Configuration with faked root wildcards and forward zones

The problem comes in, in that we also allow customers to pay via
PayPal. I tried setting up a forward
zone entry -- but looking at the debug logs, it never sends a forward
request -- but instead just resolves
the wildcard entry. I'm rather confused by this behaviour, as I
thought a specific zone entry should override
the wildcard as it behaves this way even after a restart of the named
daemon, thus ensuring the entries are
not in the server cache.
What am I misunderstanding about how these two things work?
Below is my view.
view "external"
{
match-clients { any; };
match-destinations { any; };
recursion yes;
zone "paypal.com" {
type forward; forward only;
// Same result whether I forward to paypal's NS records
or local DNS server.
forwarders {
66.211.168.226;
66.211.168.227;
216.113.188.121;
216.113.188.122;
};
};
zone "." {
type master;
file "named.redirect";
};
};
