There may be another way. Its a bit tricky and I don't know the 
pitfalls. Unbound views and tags are new. You would 4 need Unbound 
instances. The first instance would forward _ALL_ DNS zones to a dummy 
forward host name. You can define that host name local data under tags 
or views. The tags or views associate with query address. 3 other 
Unbound instances would do the real work, only listening on unusual 
local host addresses (127.0.1.1, 127.0.1.2, 127.0.1.3).

# example leading dummy instance
server:
   define-tags: "group1 group2 group3"
   access-control-view: 1.1.1.0/24 group1
   access-control-view: 1.1.2.0/24 group2
   access-control-view: 1.1.3.0/24 group3

view:
   name: group1
   local-zone: example.com transparent
   local-data: "ghost-ns.example.com. 3600 IN A 127.0.1.1"

view:
   name: group2
   local-zone: example.com transparent
   local-data: "ghost-ns.example.com. 3600 IN A 127.0.1.2"

view:
   name: group3
   local-zone: example.com transparent
   local-data: "ghost-ns.example.com. 3600 IN A 127.0.1.3"

# This _ALL_ zone forward host will resolve respective of view
forward:
   name: "."
   forward-host: "ghost-ns.example.com"
