A favorite technique of mine is to have the firewall (or firewalls) use
an internal name server as its resolver (i.e. list only internal
nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf), while running the externally visible
named on the same firewall. Then have all internal mail servers act as
forwarding nameservers, which forward external requests to these named's
running on the firewall(s). Make all internal clients use the
internal nameservers, and make them all at least secondaries for the
internal domain information, so they get the internal names and addresses.
Then, the firewall properly resolves the names of internal hosts, while
passing the proper externally visible DNS information out to the world at
large. The internal hosts also refer to each other by internal name and
address, as well.
