Maybe I do not understand the problem.  It seems to me that if you
want a zone to be in both internal and external views, place the
zone definition in both views.  In my BIND config, I have a file
that I

     include "filename";

in both views.  This file contains definitions for zones that do not
change with respect to internal/external views.
