zone WWW.WEBSERVER.PARTNER.COM { ... };

This zone would consist of an SOA record and a single A record for  
the alternate IP address over the private network connection.  Note  
that the zone is defined for a single host.

WWW.SUBDOMAIN.WEBSERVER.PARTNER.COM is not in the  
WWW.WEBSERVER.PARTNER.COM zone and will be forwarded to the name  
servers at Partner, Inc. for name resolution.

Using this technique requires a zone file to be created for each host  
that is accessible over the private network connection.
