You can use the same zone name between them, but have much more information in the private version - this way, you're not publishing your internal network details to the public. Also, if your firewall doesn't support two-way NAT, separating your data allows you to use internal addresses for your servers on the inside, while still publishing public addresses for use by the outside world. Not being experienced with Open Directory, we can't comment on its requirements specifically.
