In the past, my suggestion has been to use different servers if you
can.  But for those who don't, are there complete examples of
setting up a single server for both non-recursive authoritative, and
recursive non-authoritative views for the same clients?  I've pointed
people to the isc.org tech papers and team cymru secure configuration;
but they seem to assume you are using views because you have a 
split-network.

The simpliest case would be a server authoritative for EXAMPLE.COM,
and providing recursive service to the server (i.e. localhost).
