You could add TSIG to the views and use that to differentiate between
"internal" and "external" and then send your queries using the different
TSIG keys.

Or, you could add an additional IP address to the ACL that you use to
identify "internal" and send the query from that.

Beyond that, the entire idea of views is to keep people from doing what
you are trying to do.
