Answer for a specific host, but recurse for all others within a zone

[John Wingenbach]

What you are looking for is basically dnsmasq.  That allows you to 
override specific resolutions, while letting the rest go through the 
normal process.  BIND does not allow you to have split authority for a 
single zone.

if you say something.xyz.com is handled locally, then anything under 
that is also considered to be handled locally.
