It is trivial with views in a decently competent name server. If the
requesting client is in the private zone, return the private address.
Otherwise, return the public address. I tend to do this for all machines
in a private LAN that need to speak to the outside, as it makes this
kind of issue just disappear. This is outside the scope of exim
discussions, however, so if you need assistance, contact me off list.
