The logic is as follows:

A packet enters the system from the external zone. In this zone it is 
redirected to the internal zone, and must be allowed into the internal 
zone. Access for packets originating from other zones into the internal 
zone is defined by the forward rules in the zone configuration file for 
the internal zone.

The idea is that all access configuration for packets entering a zone is 
  places in the configuration file for the zone - not in other zones. 
All packets are allowed to leave a zone, but may be dropped by access 
rules for the destination zone.

Input and output rules only applies for packets destined or originating 
from the firewall itself.

To sum up:
Redirect rule in zone.ext to redirect the packet to the internal zone.
forward rule to allow the packet entering the internal zone.

I hope it clears things up a bit.
