Selective forwarders not working

[Junice]

Hi,
    I have also turned on the debug and below is the traces :
req:nlookup(xxxxxx.com) id .. type=1 class=1 rc=3
ns_req:answer ->[127.0.0.1]:... fd=20 id=... size=81 rc=3

What i rx from the nslookup result is a very fast response of error
message "non-existent domain". From the traces as above, there is no
Forwarding done but just very prompt responce of "non-existent"
domain.
Any clue on what could be the problem ? I have also added the "forward
only" in the xxxxxx.com forward zone but again with the same result.

Thanks in advance.
