Which server isthe Internic registered server for the domain?
If sevrer 1, then server 1 should have the full info you want to see
If server 2, then server 1 would not be configured for the zone at all
If both, then one would be configured as master (primary), and one as
secondary (slave)

Do it what way??? If server 1 is queried for an A record, and it is
authoritative and doesn't have it, then the querying machine will go no
further since it got a "not found" answer from an authoritative server.

I don't understand why you want server 1 to be involved at all if you
only want to direct queries to server 2.
