Port forward DNS requests

We are chaning our DNS setup a bit and our secondary nameserver will be
changing. For the purposes of this email I will go ahead and call them
as follows (host names changed for privacy purposes):
Current Primary: ns1.goColts.com
Current Secondary: ns2.goColts.com
Future Secondary: ns1.beatPatriots.com
We have 38 active doamins pointing to ns1/ns2.goColts.com. As you know
updating registrar records can take a long time, especially since we
aren't the technical contact on most of them.
The new secondary, ns1.beatPatriots.com, will be on a different IP
subnet hosted at a far off location. So while the registrar records
are slowly being updated could I port forward traffic from
ns2.goColts.com to ns1.beatPatriots.com?
At the network layer this seems pretty doable. I wasn't sure at the
application layer if BIND would have trouble since it wouldn't
recognise itself as ns2.goColts.com.
Thanks for any insight on this topic.
Have a good day,
Dannie
