Hmmm... Is there really enough here to fill a white paper? How about a 
white post-it note?

You run one version of the zone(s) on one nameserver instance (or 
possibly "view", in the case of BIND 9). You run another version of the 
zone(s) on another nameserver instance (or "view"). You serve up the 
different versions to different audiences, typically "internal" clients 
versus "external" clients.
