It depends...

some VPNs push routes, including default routes, and nameservers and
search paths, but it's up to the client on how to handle it.  Some of
these will set /etc/resolv.conf, etc.

What *kind* of VPN are you talking about?  OpenVPN?  PPTP?  L2TP?

I generally prefer dnscache to BIND, and the mechanism for selective
resolution is straightforward.

Some large companies, HP included, just publish internal
(non-routable) addresses for hosts on their public servers, which
solves the remote access DNS problem.
