Why not just run 2 named servers on 2 seperate machines ( 2 total ). The 
bastion host would run named, and any name queries to the protected 
network would be forwarded to an internal host running the second named 
server, which of course, by default (firewalled), only trusts the 
bastion host. This way you only run 2 named servers, and protect the 
secrecy of the internal hosts. Of course, the only problem I can think 
of is the possibility of the bastion named caching the lookups and 
outsiders being able to see internal hostnames via the cache.
