I've been looking for a way to do this as well.  I would think that a 
separate pdns instance on a different server than your main dns would do 
the trick or have one bound to one address and a second instance bound 
to another using separate databases.  I tried setting up a zone and 
delegating it to the current DNS and that doesn't work.  It's an 
interesting problem.  Currently I'm using iptables on my mail servers, 
but that get's unwieldy and unmanageable in a hurry.  I've also done it 
with spamassassin rules, but that also get's to be unmanageable, too.
