Nope.  Most services are terribly selfish and will not let
other services bind to the same port which they are using.

It is easy to forward requests to another nameserver under BIND.

Like the person you just replied to said, I suspect that you mean
something else by the word, which BIND also provides via "views".

Read the docs.  Or RFC-1034.  Or go pick up "DNS and BIND" from O'Reilly.

Trying to run a nameserver without any background knowledge is roughly
comparable to trying to drive a car with a blindfold on.  It's less a
question of "will you crash and break things?" and more a question of
"how quickly will you crash, how many things get broken, and how many
other people are going to be affected as a consequence...?"
