The same entered name should get to the same resource even if the
resource does not resolve everywhere.  This doesn't meet this
property.

Additionally RFC 1535 shows why this approach is bad.  This would

Classic split DNS is additive with additional names, address, etc.
added to the public view to create the private view.
