You could create a zone just for intra.othercompany.com, but a better
long-term plan might be to find out how "othercompany" does its name
resolution and somehow hook into that using forward/slave/stub zones or
whatever. Today it's just "intra", but tomorrow it may be "intra2",
"search", "ldap", "ftp", "smtp" -- do you really want to be creating
separate zones (which break every time they move IP addresses) for every
single intranet name they have?
