I don't run the authorotative name server for the domain in 
question.  That domain however does list a host on my network.
You suggested that I run a name server that would give the 
local address for the machine in question rather than the
outside address.  The problem is that there are lot of 
other machines in that domain.  I'd rather not have to replicate
the entire domain in my name server then make my single change. 

Is there a way to only specify the new info for ww2.domain.com
in my name server while allowing the name server to fetch other
info from domain.com in the normal fasion.  I looked into forwarders
and views in BIND but none of them seem to quite do what I need.
Seems like you can only forward an entire domain.  I'd like to 
forward the request if the local name server doesn't have the info.

At this point (after much reading about BIND) I'm starting to think
it can't be done.
