Bind 9 ext and int zone

[Nick Allum]

The customer is requesting that we maintain the same domains, as that
was my first suggestion to give them another domain to use.

Yes I am trying to get away from maintainig entries in parallel.

Here is a question about that would I be able to use a wildcard so for
example I would have internet entries for qa.test.com and dev.test.com
but for everything else go to NS server?

As you have pointed out, using testhis.com for your dev servers, will
require an internal DNS server to resolve local addresses, and possibly
additional records (eg, www) that point to external addresses. If you
*have* to use testthis.com, you probably don't have much choice here.
There shouldn't be a lot in the way of management though. Probably,
you'd just add a few records, and be done with it. Nothing says you have
to use that domain though. How about putting them in the testthat.com
domain and just adding records for the dev servers? Of course you have
to create that domain, and add records there too...
