You want your primary nameserver to be a secondary for one domain? Sure. Edit
your /etc/named.boot file or whatever you use for named startup and add a line
like:

secondary	newdomain.com	[primary's IP]	[filename]
secondary  xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa [primary's IP]  [filename]

Unless you modify the "primary" directives, this will not impede your name-
server's current operation in any way. I suggest you pick up DNS & BIND,
