I have a somewhat similar situation, where I want clients inside my own
network to talk to a dual hosted machine over the inside address, and
not the external, official, address it has in DNS.

Since I use PowerDNS, with dnsdist in front of both authoritative and
recursive servers, I could modify the DNS response there.  In the case
of the network you drew, the dnsdist code would be something like:

inside_ips = newNMG()
inside_ips:addMask('10.0.0.0/24')

addAction(AndRule({NetmaskGroupRule(inside_ips),
                   QNameRule('thatserver.your.domain.'),
                   QTypeRule(DNSQType.A)}),
          SpoofAction('10.0.1.1', {ttl=3600}))

This neatly lets any other records for the server (anything that isn't
an A record) be delivered unaltered to the inside clients, modifying
only the response to A queries in particular.
