DNS is not desiged that way. If and answer is received it is considered accurate.
You better read up on "split-dns" scenarios including the possible usage
of "views". In addition you should upgrade to bind-9.2.1
An excerpt from "The Book" is available at
"http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/chapter/ch11.html"
it might containg usable stuff.
Get the book, it's worth it !
