The first part of what you want is easy. 
In named.conf you'll have something like...

acl private-hosts { 192.168.1.0/24; 192.168.2.0/24; };

view "internal" {
    match-clients { "private-hosts"; };
    zone "example.org" {
        type master;
        file "master/db.internal.example.org";
    };
};

view "external" {
    match-clients { any; };
    zone "example.org" {
        type master;
        file "master/db.example.org";
    };
};

Now you have two separate zonefiles, one which is consulted when someone from 
192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.2.0/24 makes a query and one that is consulted when 
anyone else makes a query.
