If xyz.com is split across nameservers, it's easy. You set up dnscache to run
on the external interface (so other machines can use it) and tinydns on your
server. Configure tinydns, running on 127.0.0.1, to serve a.xyz.com (and
everything under that), and your "other" server to serve b.xyz.com (and
everything under that).
In dnscache's root/servers/ directory, put 127.0.0.1 in a file called
a.xyz.com, and the address of the other name server in b.xyz.com.
If you want to do this without splitting xyz.com into subdomains, it becomes a
much knottier problem.
