BIND 9's views do exactly what you want. I've never used them, though
I saw Paul Vixie's presentation on BIND 9 at LISA last fall, and
this is exactly the kind of functionality views're designed for..

That shouldn't be a big deal. If you list this DNS server in
resolv.conf (or equivalent) on machines within your LAN, you'll want
to refer to it by its internal IP address, but I'm sure you know
