It occurs to me, after reading Tom's recent reply, that you may have been
referring to providing *both* public and private resolution, to different
address ranges, using one server.

As noted by Tom, BIND 9 supports the feature "views" which allows you to do
this. The other option is to just run two instances of the BIND 8 daemon on your
machine, have them listen on different IP addresses, and have each instance use
its own set of conf and zone files. This method works well if, like me, you
didn't want to go to BIND 9.

Cheers
James
