Set up something like this in your DNS for the client:
;
; Forward resolution for local names
; 
@	IN	SOA	foo.bar.	hostmaster.foo.bar. (
				9509131	; Serial number
				86400	; Refresh every 1 days
				3600	; Retry every hour
				1728000	; Expire every 20 days
				86400 ); Minimum 1 days
;
		IN	NS	ns.foo.bar.
		IN	NS	ns2.foo.bar.
;
;
client.com.		IN	A	208.199.199.1
		        IN	MX	0  client.com.
;
