DNSSEC and forward zone

You can disable it, but that's just workaround.
It would be better to fix it :-)

I would recommend checking logs on resolver which is failing to resolve 
the domain. I guess you will find out a DNSSEC validation error would 
tell us what's misconfigured.

My bet is that the internal domains are missing delegation from the 
parent domain, which was incorrect even before and worked just accidentally.

E.g the ubi.pt zone file needs NS records which point to subdomains 
Internalsite1.ubi.pt and di.ubi.pt etc.

If you do not want these domains to resolve from outside, just configure 
ACL on the authoritative servers to not respond to queries from outside 
of your network.

I hope it helps.
