Thank you for all your replies! I'll try to implement your suggestions using a subdomain.

If you load foo.com with two records, nothing but those two records will ever resolve on that server for foo.com . One way to make it work would be to load two zones. Vpn1.foo.com and vpn2.foo.com each with their A records. Then you would only blackhole things below vpn1.foo.com and vpn2.foo.com .

This is my goal: - I want to define in my dns server a zone " external_partner.com ", which is the domain of our partner who manages it with his dns public server " dns.external_partner.com ". - I need to define into this zone a couple of servers ("vpn_host_1. external_partner.com ", " vpn_host_2. external_partner.com ") because we connect via vpn to our partner. - I want that the rest of the names, e.g. " www.external_partner.com ", are resolved forwarding the requests to the dns of our partner. I tried this without success: - in "named.conf": zone " external_partner.com " { type master; file "master/ external_partner.com .zon"; forwarders {xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;}; }; and I have "recursion yes" in the options. - in " external_partner.com .zon" I have only the two entries: $TTL 300 @ IN SOA dns.edistar.com . admin.dns.edistar.com . ( 2013011701 ; Serial 300 ; Refresh 300 ; Retry every hour 300 ; Expire after a week 300 ) ; Minimum ttl of 1 day IN NS dns.edistar.com . TXT "vpn servers" vpn_host_1. external_partner.com . IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx vpn_host_2. external_partner.com . IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx I read about "forward first" option but is the opposite of my goal, correct? Thanks in advance for your responses.
