Set up of DNS server for internal and external use

Asked by michko in Domain Name Service (DNS)

Alright, I'm having a difference of opinion with another individual.  What I want to know is this:

We have a network consisting of about 150 workstations and 15 or so servers.  We have two servers that do internal DNS resolution of server names, intranet, etc.  Our DNS for external addresses (web browsing, etc.) is provided by our ISP.  Are we able to configure our internal DNS servers to pull data from the public nameservers to serve as our DNS for web browsing, email, etc.?  And do so without exposing our internal information outside of our network?  I.E. can our internal DNS servers also pull web browsing DNS information from the public nameservers without publishing our internal addresses?  

Personally, I don't see why we can't set them up as private DNS servers, where they pull DNS information, but do not publish it outside our network.  However, I will consider the fact that I could be wrong.  Anyone want to let me know if I'm on track, or completely off base?

Also, instructions on how to set them up securely would be nice.

Thanks,

michko
