Hi. That KB article shows you how to use TSIG keys as a view selector for zone transfer.
If you want a single DNS server to give different answers to the same question based on client IP then you *could* (though I'm NOT recommending this, especially since it will be deprecated at some point) use "sortlist". Or you will have to have multiple versions of that name, each in a separate zone, each associated with a different view. Maintaining multiple versions will be a big overhead and, IMHO, this way madness lies. If it were my network I'd advise the team who designed this application to rethink their delivery mechanism. so that the requirement for one_name == multiple IPs goes away. /soapbox If you absolutely *must* do this, some actual examples would help please, rather than generalisations.
