I usually have a seperate sub-domain for local networks, such as office.somedomain.tld or lan.somedomain.tld.
Don't be afraid of CNAME, it is very usefull, when understood and used properly.
For example, I use the following to redirect common ISP services:
shawmail IN CNAME shawmail.cg.shawcable.net.
news IN CNAME news.cg.shawcable.net.
proxy IN CNAME border.lan.domain.tld.
Of course a cron job to rsync your hosts file is probably easier and faster, but
you end up knowing less about the joys of DNS.

Quoting Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
DOH!!!
When I installed BIND, I told it to run in a chrooted environement. Turns out
the files I have been editing (/etc/bind/named.conf, etc...) are never looked
at.... I had to be changing the files in /chroot/dns/etc/bind/.....
Once I did that name resolution is working from my workstation. Now, I just need to fine tune my zone file(s).
Thanks for the support!!
