I don't know what clients you are talking about but those clients need
to be able to follow referrals. With named, you can turn off recursion
support. It will then refer clients to the next appropriate authority
like the root servers who will, in turn, refer them to the appropriate
name servers and so on until an authoritative name server is reached.
I hope this is what you want.
