Named will continue to use deepest/closest/nearest match when
selecting zones to answer from.  This is needed for built-in empty
zones (RFC 1918 zones are enabled in the upcoming releases following
the publication of RFC 6303) and for grafting on of private namespaces.
This is also RFC 1034 behaviour so it should be applicable to all
nameservers.

4.3.2. Algorithm

   2. Search the available zones for the zone which is the nearest
      ancestor to QNAME.  If such a zone is found, go to step 3,
      otherwise step 4.
