I use bind that comes with mac os 10.6 server (9.6.0-APPLE-P2);

named.conf at the beginning includes a file options.conf.apple like so:
options  {
        include "/etc/dns/options.conf.apple";
};

options.conf.apple contains:
directory "/var/named";

forwarders { 203.59.24.3; 203.0.178.191; 203.134.24.70; };

allow-transfer { none; };

in named.conf I then have:
include "/etc/dns/privateView.conf";

which contains:
view "intranet_view" {

match-clients { 127.0.0.0/8; 192.168.0.0/23; };

	allow-recursion { "internal"; };

zone "." {
        type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

zone "domain.com" {
        type master;
	file "internal/db.domain.com";
	check-names ignore;
        notify TRUE;
	allow-update { key "rndc-key"; };
        // Cancel the forwarding for this authoritative domain.
        forwarders {
        };
};

On the other hand ; is the server authoritative for the sub-domain
mel.domain.com provided I added the delegation ?
digg shows something like:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
mel.domain.com.		7200	IN	NS	ad.domain.com.
