Thanks for the reply.

Ok, so lets see if I get this right. I can do:-

view "internal" {
     match-clients { 192.168.0.0/24; };
zone "FQDN" {
        type master;
        file "/path/to/host.dfn";	
...

view "external" {
     match-clients { any; };
zone "FQDN" {
        type master;
        file "/path/to/other_host.dfn";	
...

where FQDN is the same for both and for any 192.168... host that queries it 
recieves the internal IP# of the server while any other query gets the 
external IP# ? (assuming the host dfns are so :).

If so, thanks... much easier than I was thinking :).

If not... doh!
