[Sheflug] NAMED query

["David Morris" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've got, I suspect, an old version of named (I can't find a way of getting
the version!) running on our (402 day uptime) 2.0.36 kernel Linux box.

The question is does anyone know a way of controlling which domains are
resolved on which server?

With the advent of our corporate VPN WAN, I've changed our 'followers' line
in /etc/named.boot to include the central DNS server in Pittsburgh as the
first 'hit' followed by the primary and secondary DNS of our ISP. However,
this is inefficient because Pittsburgh get first stab at resolving
everything but they're 100+ms away whereas Plusnet are just up the road!

What I'd like to do is resolve anything for alleghenytechnologies.com or
alleghenyludlum.com (for example) on the corporate WAN server and send the
rest out to a more local NS.

Any suggestions?
