Bind 9 has something called (IIRC) "views".  I've never used it but I believe 
it let's you serve a different IP address depending on who is asking.  If a 
computer on the 192.168.1 network asks it will get a 192.168.1 answer, 
otherwise it will hand out the 66.11.182.61 address.

Alternatively you could run two DNS servers (could be on the same machine).  
To run that on the same machine just have the second instance of bind listen 
on a second IP on the box.  That second instance could contain your private 
addresses and would be used by the box itself for resolving.
