AD DNS naming has very little to do with security. Even if you make the
worst choices you can do 'split horizon' DNS and control visibility.
Most people approach the question from the wrong angle, and that's what I
see happening in this (and most other) discussions. Ask not 'Should my AD
DNS reflect or be related to my public records?' ask instead 'Is there any
advantage for a relationship between my AD DNS and public records?'. I can
assure you, there are none, I've been in enough arguments about it to know
if any such _legitimate_ reason existed.
AD DNS is used purely for name resolution inside the AD. This is not an
'SBS' thing, it is pure AD and the only reason I no longer use .local,
preferring .lan instead, is due to some OS's (not only Mac's) using a
non-standard name resolution mechanism for .local (like YEAH, that's a smart
thing, NOT).

My only rationale for having an internal domain name different from an
external domain name is SECURITY.

I have a domain name registered, say www.mydomain.com.
I will be using this domain for email and will also be setting up a
website which will be hosted somewhere else (GoDaddy or something
like that).
From what I understand I should name my internal domain
mydomain.local . Is that correct?
What is the reasoning for this? Is there a reason they should match?
Thanks

It's your call. I like internal.mydomain.com rather than anything.local -
but it really doesn't matter what you call it; you could even use
mydomain.com - but that would likely cause issues with your ability to
easily access publicly hosted websites, whatnot.
