Yes, sort of. It's called split DNS. You don't have 1 zone file
however. You have two: one for the inside and one for the
outside. Typically these are loaded by distinct name server processes,
sometimes running on different boxes. It's possible to use the views
mechanism in BIND9 for this, but this still means two zone files: one
with the internal name space and one with the external.
