Well, if you choose to use Microsoft's DNS server, you choose to make 
the "zones" Active Directory integrated, and you retain the default 
boot method for the server, you'll receive this very functionality.

When using Microsoft's DNS server for public content DNS service, 
the public content DNS servers should be entirely separate from all 
internal servers and should not be used to hold internal data.
