I am sure it is possible - whether you can stay standard
conforming at the same time is another question. I've seen a lot
of site who THINK they have done something like this *8-(.

Don't go there. 

A design assumption of the DNS was that everyone has the same
view of the DNS. 

Whilst I think it's okay to keep your internal names a secret,
anything beyond this tends to lead to chaos....

What are you really trying to achieve?
