Is your server the official public server for a registered domain name?
   If not, you just want to provide only the private addresses for the
names even though you configure the server to be primary for the zone.
Some other server (or service) may be providing public dns with the
names of any machine you want to be available from the internet and the
corresponding public addresses.  Even though named can do both at once I
find it easier to run it on different machines and point local clients
at the one with the private addresses.
