[dns-operations] Custom DNS server as backend for authoritative DNS server

[Mark E. Jeftovic]

You can do what you want with PowerDNS.

You would specify your backend first, then the normal backend (i.e.
bind). Any query that doesn't garner a response from your backend will
fall through to the next one.
