resolving some and then forwarding the rest?

allow-query, by itself, doesn't do what the original poster wants.

This requires separate instances of named (BIND 8) or separate "views" in a
single instance (BIND 9). The external entries will need to be maintained in
*both* versions of the zone, although if the same box is master for both versions
of the zone, perhaps you could play $INCLUDE file games to make maintenance a
little easier...
