is it possible to set up a zone in bind similar to a http(s) reverse proxy:

No. DNS is very far from proxying.

1. The server appears authoritative to clients (the consulted server is indeed authoritative).

2. Each request is passed on to the other server (or served from cache), but the information is *not* obtained by zone transfers (because the other server does not have/allow this).

For records that are managed locally, BIND is authoritative.
For records that are stored elsewhere, BIND is NOT authoritative.

So, either you have authoritative server, or you have not.

What is the point of your request?

The point is, that I have two authoritative dns servers running on the
same machine which I would like to "merge". The problem there is, that one
of them runs some special software, which does not "speak too much dns"
(it is not broken as far as I can tell, but it is also not that versatily
configurable as bind is).

A is a normal bind installation and B is the "custom made" dns server.
Unfortunately, B does not allow zone transfers and (though it allows
forwarding queries for "foreign" domains to a separate name server (A) in
principle) it does not forward AXFR/IXFR which breaks slave duplication of
A's master zone. So I cannot place B in front (which I would like to avoid
anyways, as bind is waaayyy more mature than B). So my question was,
whether I could place A in front of B - which currently works, besides
that my server now looks non-authoritative to clients.

But maybe my whole train of thought is backwards: The problem, I'm
currently experiencing, is, that the nameserver setup for B's subdomain
(i.eckner.net) looks all-right when querying A (or the nameserver of the
parent domain) directly, but not, if I traverse from the root zone.

Maybe I missed to set up some cross-reference and A not appearing
authoritative is not a problem for the name resolution?

@Tony: dnsdist looks interesting. At first glance, it looks, like it can do what I need: send queries to different servers depending on the queried domain. I'll take a closer look at it.

regards,
Erich
