That's effectively what I have done.

I set up a second server configuration running new zone on a different
IP address and pointed the DHCP server at it so that the DHCP server is
no longer sending DDNS updates to the server that is having these
intermittent outages.

I've set up CNAME pointers from the main server to the new server for
the names (of DHCP clients) that need to be resolvable as well as for a
reverse zone on the new server.

Exactly my goal.  I'm fairly sure that the problem is going to stop
happening now that the server is no longer processing DDNS updates.

Unfortunately it's impractical to run like this for the long term as
any DHCP client that comes into the network ought to be able to be
resolvable by it's name in the main zone, but that would require CNAMEs
for any and every possible name that could show up in a DHCP client.
