[CentOS] Resolv.conf with multiple adaptors on multiple networks

That will work great. One box...two NICS, running ipchains. If you are looking to resolve your own names locally such as http://intranet (like many places are) but you still want to be forwarded up to your ISP's resolvers, you can just list them in BIND (or your chosen DNS app) as the places to check if your server does not know an answer. I like using the root-hints best, that way there is no risk of an ISP forwarding me to a place that I do not want to be, like for searches.

Just have everything query your internal DNS.  It can respond directly
for your local domains and then either query the root nameservers or the
Comcast nameservers for everything else.
