Q: One host serving both internal and external nameservice, which view should match-clients for the local host?

I have set up a nameserver as per pg 249 of DNS & Bind, 5th Ed. The host is on
two networks, serving the internal 10 based network as nsi at 10.5.0.5 with an
internal view and the external network as nsx at 192.246.229.x with an external
view. Everything makes sense until I get to the match-clients definition. Using
the example on 249, named will serve the internal addresses, and the external
view match-clients { any; } will take everything else....including the local
host 127.0.0.1.
That would seem to me to make it so the local host would be unable to resolve
(for itself) internal addresses, forcing it to only be able to resolve external
addresses for itself.
Is this as it should be? Am I missing something?
