You're right about the views. The views are on BIND (authoritative) and 
have different data for external clients.

What I really want is my internal users to use unbound servers with the 
following options:

a) unbound should forward all requests for local zones (*.example.com, 
123.123.x.x, 10.x.x.x) to local authoritative servers (BIND)
b) the local zones should not be cached on the unbound because I want 
the updates to be automatically propagated.

In another similar setup (but with bind only) the the caching server is 
also secondary for each zone, but is not listed in the NS records.

thanks again

Giannis
