You probably want to use quotes around private and public, otherwise
they are interpreted as variables, and as they are not defined they
equal to nil.

However please understand that if you place DMZ in the "private" pool
and GOOGLE in the "public" pool, you won't have any server in the
default pool, which receives all queries that have not been explicitly
routed to another pool with addPoolRule(), PoolAction(),
QPSPoolAction(), setDNSSECPool()..
Therefore you might want to leave your servers in the default pool and
also add them to another one by doing something like this:

newServer({address="192.168.99.10", name="DMZ", order=10, pool={"",
"private"} })
newServer({address="8.8.8.8", name="GOOGLE", order=255, pool={"",
"public"} })
