Bind will do split views, but unless you are short on machines it is easier to
just point internal machines at different servers which are configured as
primary/secondary for the zone and put only the public view on exposed machines
that are registered as the official masters. And if you are short of machines,
you might want to outsource the public DNS anyway. The public side typically
only needs a few addresses that rarely change so it is not difficult to maintain
separately and if they are separate there is no need to permit recursive lookups
on the public-facing servers.
