Yes, it basically may be any IP address.
A common use case is where you have an internal DNS zone, you need to
run your LAN. Microsoft Active Directory does that for example.
Of course you wouldn't want your internal zone being public on the
Internet - hence this functionality.
You may also use external DNS servers to do reverse resolving for your
internal LAN and so on.
Bascially, it can be any (valid) zone name and any IP address.
I hope that clears it up :)
