As I've mentioned, "unbound" can do this. If the OP want's to stick with 
bind, but can tolerate it, he could do something like:

zone "abcd.com" {
   type forward;
   forward only;
   forwarders { 127.0.0.1 port 5300; };
};

...and then run a copy of unbound locally with unbound.conf:

port: 5300
local-data: "www.abcd.com 600 IN A <theip>"

...plus other required config of course.
