Nope.  Not in 8.1.2.

You can achieve the same effect in 8.2.1 by turning off forwarders for
the zone and its descendants.  In 8.2, per recent discussion in this
forum, this had to be done by explicitly forwarding each subdomain to
its server, or explicitly turning off forwarding for those domains.
