No. Either you're authoritative for a zone, or you forward queries for that
zone. In BIND, the two zone types are mutually exclusive (don't be fooled by
the fact that a "forwarders" clause can be included in the definition of an
authoritative zone -- that's only there for the purpose of turning off
forwarding for names in subzones). The "view" feature doesn't change this
fundamental design decision.

Having said that, however, you could always $INCLUDE the "common" entries
into both zonefiles...
