Try my evldns server framework.

There's an example program in that which always returns the same IP address for any IN A query.

	Sorry, no, it's a framework, not a ready-to-run DNS server. However if you're running Linux it's pretty easy to build. – Alnitak Nov 16 '09 at 9:53

ok i found it.

here how it goes with nsd:

add this to nsd.conf:

zone:
    name: "."
    zonefile: "root.zone"
    provide-xfr: 0.0.0.0/0 NOKEY
    provide-xfr: ::0/0 NOKEY

then create root.zone and fill it with:

$TTL 1H
@    IN     SOA  @ none. ( 11 1D 1H 1W 3H );
     IN     NS   @
     IN     A    1.2.3.4

then:

nsdc rebuild
nsdc reload

nb. you need to rebuild and reload everytime you change your zone file.
