Separate DNS forwarding

I have a small Windows 2008r2 domain with 2 DC's.  Each is running DNS.

I'd like to setup 'forwarding' on one of the DNS servers with IP's that are not replicated on the second DNS server

Then, have DHCP setup so that one group of devices connects to one DNS and another group to the other DNS

Simply put (for me that is), can I setup forwarding on 1 DNS that is NOT replicated to the other DNS?

Thanks!

You may have to define what you mean by "forwarding".
It is certainly possible to set up DNS forwarders on one server and not on another.  Standard forwarders are not replicated to other DNS servers.  With Conditional Forwarders, you have the option of specifying that they should be replicated to other DNS in your AD.
