I take it that you run your own world acesable dns server?  if so you would be 
best of setting up two views  one for external consumtion.  one for internal    
that way you can set machine.domain.com to answer the world with its public 
ip and the lan  its internal ip.  if however you dont control  teh dns to the 
world  you need to contact whoever looks after your dns to have it added

to configure views in bind  is fairly straight forward
