BIND 8 forwarding question

Hi,
	I'm setting up a forwarder in BIND 8.2.4 that I don't want to be able to answer questions about internal hosts by asking our external view nameservers.  I tried the suggestion in the DNS and BIND book to set up a stub zone with an empty forwarders list but the forwarder still queries our external view servers.  I tried adding a "forward only" directive to the zone declaration but that didn't seem to help.  Neither did declaring the zone of type forwarder and giving it an empty forwarders list in the zone declaration.  Can anyone see where I'm going wrong?  

Thanks,

paul

	forward only;
	forwarders {};
