The _DNS_and_BIND_ book (Fourth Edition, if you can get it) is a good
resource. There is a section in it on DNS and Firewalls.

Basically, though, what you need to do, if you don't want to expose all
of your internal names on the Internet (which I assume you don't), and
you want to use the same domain on the inside as well as the outside, is
to duplicate all of the external entries in your internal DNS.
