Good news...I'm running BIND 9.1.0-10

Having the internal hosts use my DNS isn't a problem...I can set up the 
firewall, itself, to act as a secondary on the internal interface, only, 
no problem.  That way, if the primary does go down, the secondary picks 
back up.

Is it possible for BIND 9 to do this for zones it's picking up as a slave 
server?  Ie, the master server is elsewhere, and I've set my server to 
pull that zone, as I'm hosting 3 of the entries for that domain on the 
server in question.
