No, configuring a zone using the "zone" statement on all resolvers is
sufficient.  If the resolver knows about authoritative data, it will
not try to fetch it from the Internet.

You should reconsider using "local", though.  Some clients treat it as
a special string.  Use a real domain name, or something under "loc" or
"corp".
