Create a new forward lookup zone, name it www.othersite.com, in that zone
create one new host, leave the name field blank, give it the public IP of
the site. In your situation, only this will work, unless you want to use the
hosts file.
There would be know way to delegate this name without create a primary zone
and delegating every name.
