How to override an A record

[Bill Sandiford]

Yes, but the problem is that I only want to override 1 or 2  A records in 
foo.bar.com.  I don't know what all the other records for foo.bar.com are 
(because xfer is denied by the authoritative server) and I don't want to 
break them.

Basically, I want to replace (override) 1 or 2 A records in foo.bar.com 
without breaking the rest of the records in foo.bar.com (and bar.com for 
that matter)

I guess the question is how do I make my name server authoritative for 1 or 
2 specific records in a zone, but not the rest of the records in the zone. 
I still need it to look up through normal queries the rest of the records.

Regards,
Bill
