If you create a local zone for linxdev.com, then that will be considered
authoritative for your machines, and they will never contact the actual
public DNS servers for this domain.  So, you will need to duplicate the
public entries (i.e. www, smtp, pop, buford, etc.) in your local zone,
which will have to be updated whenever these IP addresses change.

Another way to do this is to create a fake private domain, such as
linxdev.LAN.  That way, you will always know whether you are referencing
your private/internal hosts or the public/external ones, and the actual
public DNS servers will provide authoritative data for your public domain.
