BIND 9 servers could do this in the sense that they can change a zone
in question based on the query's destination, but I don't think this
feature handles the case in this thread.
Anyway, I don't think the issue about site-local addresses and DNS is
that simple. The point is that DNS is a global database while the
notion of scoped addresses is not global (there is nothing new about
the gap, though. this should have been discussed many times in the
context of IPv4 private addresses and DNS).
