Based on suggestions here, I now have a named.conf file like this:

    options { ... };
    logging { ... };
    zone "." IN { type forward; forwarders { PUB; }; forward only; };
    zone "HOST1" { type forward; forwarders { PRIV; }; };
    zone "HOST2" { type forward; forwarders { PRIV; }; };
    # PUB and PRIV are actually IP addresses, both on the LAN (not WAN)

I think this means that simple queries for HOST1 or HOST2 (without a
domain) will be forwarded to PRIV while all other queries will be
forwarded to PUB. Queries forwarded to PUB will be tried with and
without the domain search arguments from resolv.conf. Queries to PRIV
either won't try the search domains or, since they will fail, will
eventually try without them. If so, that is exactly what I want.
If the number of local HOST names is greater than the number of TLDs or
changes more frequently, you might want to invert this configuration, and
set each TLD to forward to your PUB server and everything else to PRIV.

The canonical list of TLDs changes from time to time, and thus would need to be updated. How dynamic is the "PRIV" set of names?
