Usually that means you want external and internal lookups to resolve
to different addresses.  The simple way to get that is to configure
your local server as authoritative so your own machines using it get
the local addresses, but leave the hosted server registered as the
public server with the addresses the public should see.

Your server will not pass queries upstream if it is configured as
master or slave for the matching zone regardless of whether or
not it is registered with the root servers.
