Split DNS, technically, is two machines.  One inside your firewall, serving
the correct address to internal machines, and one outside your firewall with
a separate database serving addresses to outsiders.

What you're looking for is 'views', introduced in BIND 9.  Views allow a
single DNS server to serve different views of your name space depending on
who's asking.  Much to long to go into here.  Try:

http://sysadmin.oreilly.com/news/views/_0501.html

as a starting point.

Personally, I like split DNS across two (or more) machines.  But it's
overkill for a home network.

Best....
