Out of zone data means that the data in a zone file is for
another zone.
I suspect you are making an error when editing the files. Send
an example zone file that produces the errors.

NAT is totally independent of DNS. CISCO offer a dynamic DNS
feature for their NAT to allow people to set up tunnel through
NAT on demand, this allows a small public address space to
provide connectivity for a large number of servers in a dynamic
fashion, but that is the exception not the rule.

Zone files for public consumption never have private addresses
in.

There are companies that provide this free for small companies,
see the list archive as the quality is variable.
