I agree with Kevin, but allow me to clafify: You CAN do it,
but it is a bad idea and always going to be a security risk from
at least two issues.

Yes it is but....

BIND will allow different VIEWS for different clients
(based on filter lists) but that is NOT a sufficient reason
for eschewing the advantages of MS DNS internally.

I recommend, and am pretty sure Kevin agrees, you put you
PUBLIC DNS back at the Registrar (or ISP if you must.)

You're not even following the business rules of the registration
process unless you have TWO or more DNS servers for the
public resolution.

Registrars like Godaddy.com and Register.com are perfectly
willing to provide this service and you likely already paid
for it.
