No, unfortunately, it's not supported. And there's no support for stub zones, either, so if you want to give
a particular name server the ability to resolve domain names in a zone it wouldn't be able to find using
recursion or a global forwarder, about the only recourse you have is to configure it as a slave for the zone.

Note: This is no longer true with in Windows Server 2003. Windows 2003 DNS Server does support conditional forwarding and stub zones.
