Multiple Domain dns resolution??

[Kevin Darcy]

Why are you assuming a dependency between subnets and domains? You could have
just a single domain for everything, one of the nameservers would be master,
and the other 2 could be slaves or stubs. If you have no need to resolve
external names, then you could even throw *everything* into an internal root
zone, if you wished.

If for some reason you *must* have separate domains, then just make each
machine a slave/stub of the 2 domains for which it is not master. Avoid
forwarding if you can.
