That is a different case from names (even fully-qualified ones) that different user can resolve but for which they will get different results.  It may also be different from practices in CDNs to return different answers depending on the presumed network location from which the question is being asked, practices that presumably fall into your "view" category.

Is it the case that various alternatives should be enumerated?

a. When a domain name is used for access to a service we might have:

a.1. The same DNS response regardless of who sends the query (this is the default for DNS)

a.2. Different responses depending on context (where query is sent from etc), but still same service (this is CDN)

b. When different services are accessed depending on context (enterprise setup)

b.1. A service is available or not depending on context, implemented via DNS response or not (version of a.1)

b.2. Different services are available depending on context, implemented via different DNS responses

c. The special case of (b) based on use of different root zone
