Not to drag this out further, but if you are using a "split" DNS setup
and the sendmail box is also the "outside" DNS server, then you would
also need another machine as the "inside" DNS server so the sendmail
box could use it to resolve internal hosts or MX entries.

This could be what was meant.  Sounds like the next update of bind8
will have this "fixed" so you can just use one for internal and external.
