We investigate the phase diagram of a two-band frustrated Hubbard model in the framework of dynamical mean field theory. While a first-order phase transition occurs from a paramagnetic (PM) metal to an antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator when both bands are equally frustrated, an intermediate AF metallic phase appears in each band at different $U_c$ values if only one of the two bands is frustrated, resulting in continuous orbital-selective phase transitions from PM metal to AF metal and AF metal to AF insulator. We argue that such intermediate phases are possibly related to the puzzling AF metallic state with small magnetization observed in undoped iron-pnictide superconductors as well as to the pseudogap features observed in optical experiments.
