The DNS server sends different answers depending on the client IP, so
on your internal network it sees the private subdomain, everywhere
else sees a ENT or NXDOMAIN.
If you really have to use physically separate servers for reasons that
you can't explain, I suppose putting the two servers at the same IP
addresss facing different networks could work, although you're asking
for trouble with route leaks anytime someone adjusts a router anywhere
near one or the other. Remember that with normal anycast all of the
mirrors send identical or at least equivalent answers so the routes
are not a security issue.
