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.
