<VulnDiscussion>Authoritative name servers for an enterprise may be configured to receive requests from both external and internal clients.
External clients need to receive RRs that pertain only to public services (public Web server, mail server, etc.)
Internal clients need to receive RRs pertaining to public services as well as internal hosts.
