Is there a way to tell bind8 not to tell the world the same as it tells a
local server?

Specifically, I have some hosts, which do dialin and pick up their mail by
ETRN. So their dns is:
 some.dom 	MX	100 our.mastermail.server.
 some.dom	MX	10  their.dialin.server.

Is there a way not to announce the lowest MX-record to the world, but only
to our.mastermail.server?

This would avoid outside servers wasting time trying to connect to
their.dialin.server. directly, when it most probably is not online.

I'd rather not have a separate named for our.mastermail.server; it would
be hell to administer.
