A little off your topic - but a question that has always bothered me. You have two name servers - both in your class c - serving sites in your class c.
Who cares if you have one outside? If access to your class c fails - it doesn't matter that you have a name server outside pointing to hosts that can't be reached. If you already have all your hosting eggs in one basket, why is it a big deal to have all your dns eggs in the same basket? Don't beat me up - I just have really never understood this outside of certain cirumstances.
