Selective forwarding and stub zones are available in Microsoft DNS, or 
so I'm told...

(Although I feel obligated to point out that this is a BIND-oriented 
list, so you may not get a lot of configuration advice for Microsoft 
products).

                                                                         
                                                         - Kevin
