The premise behind a split DNS is that the internal clients do not need 
the "external" information.  In other words, you are treated as either 
"inside" the network or "outside" the network, not both.  You can be sure 
that internal clients at the larger company do not resolve names from the 
external zones.  If you are now "part of their network" you should be able 
to survive with the same view of the name space as they do.
