What does "2 zones with the same @" mean?  @ is just an abbreviation for
the current $ORIGIN, which defaults to the zone name.  You can't have the
same @ in two different zones, since zones can't overlap.  In your example
zones below, @ in one will be internal.blah.com, @ in the other will be
external.blah.com.  Everything in a db file has to be in the zone that was
specified in the named.conf entry that loads that file.  So you'll have
something like:

zone "internal.blah.com"
  type master;
  file "db.internal";
  allow-query { internal_addresses; };
};

zone "external.blah.com"
  type master;
  file "db.external";
  allow-query { any; };
};

Everything in db.internal will be in the internal.blah.com domain, while
everything in db.external will be in the external.blah.com domain.
