What is the 'NAT' item ?

Using an OpenBSD (which in itself is a good firewall + NAT) you
could run your external DNS in that one (serving outer space) and have
your internal DNS (serving your LAN). 

The inside DNS might be configured to 'forward all' to the outer one.

It's doable with all known BSD and linuzes as well as solarises too...
