Yes and no. We don't have "views", but if you only need to special case a
few records, you can either use the 'geo backend', which does complete
global distributing of answers based on a map of IP addresses.

Or, you could use the 'pipe' backend to map specific questions to one answer
or the other. This is a programming exercise.

Both are more work than "views" are though.

What we could do is make a special 'splitbackend', which could have a
configuration like this:

www.foo.bar { 10.0.0.0/8: 10.0.0.17, 0.0.0.0/0: 213.244.168.210 };

But, that is not there yet.
