Thanks for your response.  I had presumed that $ORIGIN would reset the current origin to the new value.  I did manage to resolve my problem by eliminating the $ORIGIN directive and using the following.

        160                  IN      NS      NS.SUB.DOMAIN.COM.

This produced the behaviour that I had expected:  the DNS queries being forwarded to NS.SUB.DOMAIN.COM.
