A internal DNS resolver that overrides the records could work.


named.conf:

zone "www.example.com" {
        type master;
        file "www.example.com.db";
};


www.example.com.db:

$TTL 1
@ IN A 192.168.80.80


This will supersede all records for www.example.com for any machine
that uses this DNS server as a resolver.

I do something remotely similar here at home.
