You can have a server used only for some domains, so if your wireless 
net had names in the domain wireless.net then doing

server=/wireless.net/10.0.0.1

would send only *.wireless.net queries to the 10.0.0.1 server and 
everything else would go to the servers on /etc/resolv.conf

THere's some additional stuff needed for reverse lookups (IP -> name), 
that's covered in the FAQ.

Cheers,

Simon.
