It is an entry in a different table internally.  The local zones, stubs,
forwarders, have their own lookup tables.  It seems to cause grief over
the forwarder/stub lookup as well.

Operators expect the most specific.  But the application has a simple
ordering, first check local-zone, then check forwards, then stubs.
