Be assured - I read it a couple of times before responding.  I figgered a
volunteered answer that didn't strictly adhere to the specificities of the
question was better than "I dunno" or no response.  At any rate, there is
*no* way to fool a caching-only name server into giving out wrong or
customized info, unless you seriously hack the source code.  The suggestion
I submitted will save him a *lot* of time trying to find a workaround.

Here's another suggestion - in your firewall rules, insert a redirect rule
that takes all traffic destined for those addresses and redirects it to
localhost, the corp website, or whatever.

Time to think outside the box on this one.
