As long as BIND can route its' queries to the outside, it can be run on a reserved network address. If you are trying to serve the outside with info about your own domain however you will need to bind to a public network "real" IP address. If this latter is your scenario, and you are trying to do this on a dynamic IP (which will -=not=- satisfy InterNIC for a primary domain server ... ) somehow you will need to discover the assigned address on that external device, reconfigure the named file and start/restart named -- each time the IP on that device changes.
