You can do this with a DNAME record :-)

i.e. set up your stunt DNS server with a zone like

	zone old.local {
		type master;
		file "db.old.local";
	};

and in db.old.local put:

	$TTL 1h
	old.local	SOA	stuntdns.int.new.com. jl.conductive.de. (
				1 1h 1h 1w 1h )
			NS	stuntdns.int.new.com.
			DNAME	int.new.com.

You can configure the server to forward other queries, which should have
the proxy effect that you want.
