As of BIND 8.2, you can specify different forwarders on a zone-by-zone
basis. Look at the documentation for the "zone" statement. One thing
that you _cannot_ do elegantly (yet) is forward differently based on the
source address of the query. But why not just configure those clients to
use a different nameserver or a different nameserver instance running on
the same (multi-homed or multi-virtual-homed) machine?
