So say there are 8 servers.  All boxes have:

search bogusdomain.internal
nameserver 10.15.96.2
nameserver 10.15.96.3
options timeout:1

in /etc/resolv.conf

And .2 and .3 are setup as a master and slave of bogusdomain.internal, 
with all other queries going to the Internet.

The servers are actually named "servername.bogusdomain.com" even though in 
/etc/resolv.conf search is set to "bogusdomain.internal" because, 
internally, you communicate on private IP's, while the boxes when 
connected to publicly use the public IP's (just the way the network is 
setup, I had no say in it).

So to you, that isn't a problematic setup, minus the fact that the 
timeout:1 may actually cause more harm than good?
