Better yet, re-examine the reasons you want to do this, and consider not 
doing it. It's incredibly rare that using split DNS is a solution to a 
real problem, it's almost always something that people do because they 
think they need to.

On the other hand, if you really need/want to have internal addresses to 
access company resources, consider placing them in a separate zone. 
Something like int.mycompany.com. You have to put these addresses in a 
separate zone _file_ anyway, why not make it a separate zone? It will 
reduce complexity for you in the long run.
