Make sure that routing allows clients on 1.0 and 2.0 to reach 2.5 and that 
BIND listens on the interface(s) through which that traffic comes.

Huh? Clients are configured to use one or more DNS servers. They will ask 
any of those servers for an answer, in any order. So what you ask for 
cannot be done. What you probably want is for 2.5 to resolve all queries 
for 0.0 as well, and use the "forward first;" and "forwarders { 
ip.of.isp.dns; };" directives in BIND to take advantage of the ISP's DNS cache.
