I don't know if it exists for free for you, too, but our provider
supports "HIDDEN PRIMARY" name servers. We just configure a name server
in our network and tell him our IP address for that machine. That he
transfers the zones to his name servers and provide internet reachable
name services for all our domains and subdomains.

It's easy when you use hidden primaries and forward requests you cannot
answer by yourself.
