  I think I do.

  That's exactly what I mean.  You've got a zone on your internal
nameservers, and those nameservers are not delegated from the parent
zone (the <com.> TLD, in this case).

  Which is where people have trouble.  Most people don't understand
this stuff, or don't appreciate the implications, or just plain
forget.  Better to avoid that.

  Plus, it creates two zones with the same name and different data,
which can really confuse both people and software when you're dealing
with scenarios where youcan see both, such as for laptops and/or VPNs.

  Plus, if you can get away with *not* going through the effort of
keeping the two zones in sync, why wouldn't you want to?  Even if it's
just small work, small work is still more work than no work at all.
