Perhaps what you actually want to do is not what you think you want to
do.

Is it really that you want this box to be able to use internal servers
for lookups in the internaldomain.com domain (and maybe rDNS lookups for
the 10.x.x.x network), and external servers for everything else?

This is perfectly possible and I do it on my own home network.

Looks fine.

What routes other than those above do you want?
