no.

and most clients would wonder what you're asking them to do, as it's
YOUR job to resolve the domain for them, not theirs.

However, what you can do is tell dnscache to use a.b.c.d to look up
domain xxxxx.zzz.yy (note that you should be using example.{com,net,org}
for examples per RFC2606) and that should do what it is I think you're
asking.
