pdnsd is supposed to be able to do exactly this, per its documentation. However, when I tried it some time ago, I couldn't get it to work: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=682446 -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
