When you configure forwarders, NS records are ignored -- all queries that
can't be satisfied out of authoritative data or the cache are sent to the
forwarders.

However, you can override the default forwarders for specific domains.  So
you can do:

zone "mydomain.com" {
  type master;
  file "db.mydomain.com";
  forwarders {};
};

This will prevent use of forwarders for all subdomains of mydomain.com.
