I tried this and it works. Many thanks.

The zone file looks like this:

====
$TTL 86400
@       IN      SOA     @  root.localhost (
                         3 ; serial
                         28800 ; refresh
                         7200 ; retry
                         604800 ; expire
                         86400 ; ttl
                         )

@       IN      NS      penta.xperim.be.

@       IN      A       155.132.188.61
@       IN      A       155.132.188.24

If the above file is created as /var/named/proxy1.foo.tld and declared 
as follows in /etc/named.conf, then queries to the A record 
proxy1.foo.tld resolve to the two IP addresses shown above, and all 
other queries to hosts in the foo.tld domain are forwarded.

zone  "proxy1.foo.tld" {
         type master;
         file  "proxy1.foo.tld.zone";
};

Thanks again.

Jan
