No, not unless you want to monkey around with static zones and $INCLUDE directives -- something like this: Internal zone file: $INCLUDE internal.zone.apex $INCLUDE example.com.common-records $TTL 86400 some.internal.host A 192.0.2.1 [...] External zone file: $INCLUDE external.zone.apex $INCLUDE example.com.common-records $TTL 86400 some.external.host A 192.0.2.254 [...] where the *.zone.apex files look something like this: $TTL 86400 @ SOA [... 7 data fields ...] NS ns1.example.com. NS ns2.example.com. MX 10 mx1.example.com. This way, you mostly maintain 3 files of DNS records for the zone -- external, internal, and common. Note that this is not compatible with dynamic zones. If you need to support dynamic zones (and who doesn't, these days?), you're out of luck.
