This might work, but the "correct" way to do this is still a split DNS.
Since this machine is on the border of private/public networks it should
combine the two. Your DNS on this border box should be a slave to the
internal master. These slave records should be restricted to being queries
from the private addresses. The rest of the DNS records can be pulled from
the internet/ISP's DNS.

Assuming your internal DNS servers give an almost instant response (they
should do on a small LAN), you can put all the servers
in /etc/resolve.conf, with the internal ones at the top. Then set your
DHCP options in /etc/conf.d/net to not overwrite /etc/resolv.conf.
Now all you queries should go to the internal servers first. If they
don't have (and won't forward and cache) external DNS information, the
resolver will try the next server, the ISP one.
If your internal servers are also connected to the Internet, you may not
even need an external server.
Given all of that, which of the above suggestions is my best bet?
There's nothing above, you top-posted :(
