Nothing. These IP ranges (or any IP ranges for that matter) have no effect on how DNS behaves (except for network, broadcast and multicast ranges of course). Whether they are for private use or not.

OK, but what does that have to do with DNS? They don't mention DNS in that blurb.

From this site on IP addresses: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/chapter/appb.html Where it says "there are groups of "private" Internet addresses that can be used on internal networks by anyone. These address pools were set aside in RFC 1918, and therefore cannot be "assigned" to any organization. The Internet's backbone routers are configured explicitly not to route packets with these addresses, so they are completely useless outside of an organization's internal network. The address blocks available are listed in Table B-4."
