Because in a situation where you are using a VPN you are frequently connecting into a network that has a heap of 'internal' dns hostnames that are not published on the Internet DNS system and the VPN client needs to split it's attention between local and internet name resolution sources.

Actually its pretty easy to do split DNS in BIND9 - you can have it answer
different queries depending on what IP the query came from.

I have done this using the "views" feature:
