I need to be able to resolve one domain via a specific DNS server, while everything should be resolved by other DNS server(s). For example, resolve bbc.co.uk via 1.1.1.1 DNS server, but everything else by 8.8.8.8 . Is it possible?

No... DNS is hierarchical, and co.uk is asked who is responsible for bbc, the answer is valid for everybody. – vonbrand Feb 18 at 21:19

Why do you want to do this? What is the application? It sounds a little hokey to me. – mdpc Feb 18 at 21:59

You'll need to configure a DNS server that contains a forward lookup zone for example.com (I wouldn't mess with bbc.co.uk, sounds a little nefarious,) a forwarder to 8.8.8.8, and appropriate A and/or CNAME records.

Otherwise you might have an easier time changing the hosts file.

NOTE: This only works if the user controls his machine and has root level access. – mdpc Feb 18 at 20:10
