Adding a name->address mapping for a private address doesn't magically make the private address globally routable.
You being able to see that my.internal.web.server.domain.tld maps to 192.168.43.123 doesn't mean that you can see that web server from your location.
Even if it was actually a directly routable address rather then one sat behind NAT it wouldn't be accessibly unless I'd expressly added a rule for that in my firewall to override the default "no access from outside unless some other rule has stepped in" rule. And this isn't a DNS issue either: even without the name that address would still be exposed with a bad firewall setup.
