You can use bind to serve your top-level zone (yourcompany.com) and
CustomDNS to serve a subzone (users.yourcompany.com). If you need help
setting up the zone files for both servers, I'd be happy to supply a sample
configuration.

CustomDNS can run on the same machine as bind, or on a different machine.
It should run on any Unix-like machine that supports Java and e-speak.  It
could also run under Windows NT, but setup would be more challenging.

Thank you for looking at CustomDNS!
