BIND doesn't currently provide a way to do this, unless the machine has
multiple addresses and you have the internal users querying a different
address than the external users.  In the latter case, you can run multiple
instances of named and configure them to listen on different addresses and
use different zone files.

BIND 9 is expected to include a feature called "views" that I think will
allow byou to conditionalize based on client addresses.
