reset this to an application specific config file that specifies a
different server.

Anyone got better ways fo doing this?

Since a bunch of people have suggested other solutions I just wanted
to add me 0.01$CURRENCY, FWIW.

Other than missing update for some manual page (not sure where this
should go) I don't see a problem adding this patch. "Normal" users
should be able already get similar functionality already by simply
preloading a custom patched libc, so I don't see a problem supporting
this.

This is clearly much simpler than setting up a full blown bind with
split DNS.
