I think the config option you want is `forward only`. The default is `forward first` which has the fallback behaviour that you observed. On my servers I don't configure a hint zone: using BIND's built-in hints and trust anchor reduces the amount of configuration that needs to be deployed in the chroots and which can go stale.
