Depending on what you mean by "forward", either do:

$ORIGIN mp3dance.yi.org.
base2	CNAME	raver.yi.org.
; makes queries for "raver.yi.org." resolve into "base2.mp3dance.yi.org."

...or:

$ORIGIN mp3dance.yi.org.
base2	NS	raver.yi.org.
; delegates the "base2.mp3dance.yi.org." domain to the "raver.yi.org."
; name server. Note that you should delegate to at least two servers

There is also the concept of real DNS forwarding, as in using forwarders,
but I assume that isn't what you mean.
