Remove the root from your internal servers.  It is causing external
queries to fail.

Make your servers authoritative only for your internal domains and your
internal reverse DNS [using, one hopes, the RFC 1918 "private internet"
addresses].  Have them forward ALL OTHER requests out via your
firewall.  Use the "forward-only" option.
