A split DNS zone is best.
You have yournet.localdomain and setup records for it (or just use your host
files for inside resolution). Then you get a domain record with two primary
DNS servers in your Nic Whois. You then add your dns servers to that.
I have a domain hosted at DYNDNS also. I like their DNS configuration
templates and assistance. They also allow URI forwarders and you can buy
mailhop relay for SMTP devices that you must get around port 25 cox
limitations.
Here's a good tutorial for home DNS:

Or

And there is this:
