Bind 9 ext and int zone

[Jeff Reasoner]

As you have pointed out, using testhis.com for your dev servers, will
require an internal DNS server to resolve local addresses, and possibly
additional records (eg, www) that point to external addresses. If you
*have* to use testthis.com, you probably don't have much choice here.
There shouldn't be a lot in the way of management though. Probably,
you'd just add a few records, and be done with it.
Nothing says you have to use that domain though. How about putting them
in the testthat.com domain and just adding records for the dev servers?
Of course you have to create that domain, and add records there too...
