We have a DNS Server for our "in the building" stuff but that is only
about 10% of what we communicate to. And, the DNS server is used for
all external internet traffic.

This is very normal in intranets. IT will maintain the DNS server, often
tying in LDAP / Active Directory etc. Various departments will use host
files for their intra-intra LANs. Allows quick changes for stuff that isn't
accessed outside the team without bothering the IT department and keeps
things private and friendly.
