I've seen examples of how Split horizone DNS is possible using BIND9 and "view" to control which zones a particular source host can use to resolve names.
However nothing to confirm if this is possible for conditional forwarders. Anyone ever done this/know if it's doable?
The only forwarder examples I've stumbled across so far aslways stick them in the 'global options' section of the .conf file. Nothing for specific domains.

The scenario I want is to be able to set for DomainX requests from host A resolve from forwarder A and requests from host B resolve from forwarder B.

This is doable using two separate servers without issue, but IRL 'Host B' represents several hundred hosts, Host A represents a handful of select hosts. I'm reluctant to set up dedicated primary and secondary DNS servers specifically for a couple of machines. I'd much rather their config remain the same as everwhere else and just do this off of and existing one.

Also anyone knows of a simpler way I've missed because my mind is in forwarder mode, that'd work for me too!
