How should tinydns deal with a dmz?

One of our Dachstein-CD firewalls was up for several days, functioning
as we expected.  mailonerr is configured to use our mail server that
sits on the dmz -- and we were getting our periodic notices, until
sometime after 2200 last night.

tinydns/public is setup and functioning properly.  Even while
troubleshooting this issue, remote systems could do dnsmx properly.

tinydns/private was setup for *only* private.network information, which
did *not* apply to the mail server.

dnscache appears to be functioning properly; but, shouldn't this resolve
the dmz mail server properly for the firewall and everything inside the
firewall?

dnsmx from the local firewall hangs and does not return to a prompt for
many minutes -- never waiting & Ctrl-C . . .

One resolution -- is currently working successfully, now -- is to put
our tinydns/public data into tinydns/private data.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?

What do you think?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
