This could be done by configuring BIND to be authoritative for a zone 
called "lmr.gotdns.com".  If there are other hosts in that same domain 
that are to be redefined, each would need to be put in its own zone.

If this is done, it's especially important to include the trailing dot 
in names:

lmr.gotdns.com. IN A 127.0.0.1

Alternatively, the @ sign can be used to refer to the zone name:

@  IN A 127.0.0.1
