A particular domain? Yes look for Conditional Forwarding :)

Your question isn't really clear on what you want to do.

If you want queries directed at ServerA (for example) for records in particular zone to be resolved with records that are hosted on ServerB, there are different options, including:
 - conditional forwarder
 - delegation
 - stub zone

You could even have a secondary zone on ServerA where ServerB holds the primary master.
I have many domains in my DNS in the ForwardLookupZone.

Lets say I have domain1.com with just one A-Record. This is an old entry and we like to forward all to the new domain2.com

If someone types domain1.com , it has to be forwarded to the new domain2.com
check aboe answer by Pete Long..

the conditional forwarding could be best for you..

all the best
How to do it ?

I have two forwardLookupZones.
One is old and one is new.

Just to be secure, when a user types the old link, he should be forwarded to new domain link.
what kind of links you have ?

if you have a forward lookup zone with new DNS server ...

this OLD dns server will take care of it... it'll check the DNS if it's find the IP A host in forward lookupzone.. the request will automatically goes to that machine.

what is the confusion in it...

you have to add Forward lookup zone  in old server

conditional forwarder is : when the host not foound in the origional source of DNS it'll forward the request to another DNS server which mentioned in conditional forwarder DNS domain...  (for this no need to create any forward lookup zone) the request automatically redirect to another DNS server whic is added in forwarder.

all the best
ok, as far as I understand, the ip inside the conditional forwarder must be a DNS server right ?
I have this links :

dom5.domain-hr.com -> old forward lookup zone

Open in new window

In here I had a host record to server 10.10.10.2 , this server is on the other side of the VPN. This IP is old.
And authentication is done with ADFS.

dom-hr.domain-systems.com -> new forward lookup zone

Open in new window

In here I have a host record to server 10.10.10.4. This server is on the other side of the VPN.
Auth is done with ADFS

When I make nslookup of dom5.domain-hr.com I need to get into this domain and host record dom-hr.domain-systems.com

And with the conditional forwarder I get an external IP, not the IP of the host record. Why ?
when I type this in NSLOOKUP : dom5.domain-hr.com

then I need this output : dom-hr.domain-systems.com

This kind of forward or redirect is not possible with local DNS.
