But your resolv.conf says to look for ns.lab.company.com.

And this is the other way around. resolv.conf say to add company.com but 
you are adding lab.company.com.

Is this supposed to have something to do with either company.com or 
lab.company.com?  It doesn't.  And is there some reason you only want 
the forwarder to only handle one zone?
