The most common solution is to run an internal DNS (which everyone on the inside uses) which maps the name to the internal address. If you run an authoritative DNS for your domain, the DNS which serves outside queries need to be separate from the one that handles internal queries. Alternatively, you can use BIND9's views feature to do the same thing as these 2 DNS servers.
