3rd view or mulithomed or another way?

[Kevin Darcy]

Seems to me the only way to meet your requirements, as you have stated 
them, i.e. completely different RRsets handed out to different sets of 
clients, is to set up a special view (in fact, that's pretty much the 
*definition* of a BIND "view"). If you were willing to be a little more 
flexible with your requirements (e.g. using a firewall, IDS and/or 
routing filter instead of DNS to protect the 3rd subnet from unwanted 
traffic), then you could probably get away with using a sortlist instead 
of having to define a whole view just for the one machine.

                                                                         
                                                - Kevin

P.S. Surely you meant "change their mail server name" instead of "change 
their mail server IPs", since if the clients on the new subnet are using 
hard-coded IP addresses for their mail server you can't use DNS to 
direct them to a new IP address regardless of how you slice it. By the 
way, can't you use some sort of magical whizbang Wintel junk (Group 
Policy Objects?) to get all of those clients to use a new mail server, 
without having to touch each box individually? I thought Wintel was 
getting better in that regard...
