The best way to do this is with the views (aka "split-dns") feature of BIND.  
Basically, you see where the client is coming from, and serve them different
information based on who they are.

A simple setup is something like:

view "internal" {
        match-clients { 192.168.0.0/16; };

        zone "example.com" IN {
                type master;
                file "internal/db.example";
        };
};

view "external" {
        match-clients { any; };
 
        zone "example.com" IN {
                type master;
                file "external/db.example";
        };
};

People in the 192.168/16 get info from the /var/named/internal/db.example 
file, everyone else gets info from the /var/named/external/db.example 
file....

later,
