: interface "ath0" {
: 	supersede domain-name "orthanc.ca";
: 	supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
: }

: interface "bge0" {

: And then just run a local instance of named.

And what happens when I'm connected at home, and need to view portions of
DNS that are only accessible to the wired network?

And what happens when I'm connected at work, and need to view portions of
DNS that are only accessible to the wired network?

How will my local named instance know where to look?  What happens when it
can't query externally at work?

There are very legitimate needs for being able to swap DNS servers on the
wired connection, while ignoring those provided via the wireless.
