Since this isn't an obvious configuration, here are a couple of sample
named.confs:

named1.conf:

// This is the external name server

options {
    directory "/var/named1";
    listen-on { 1.2.3.4; };
    pid-file "/var/run/named1.pid";
    recursion no;
    fetch-glue no;
};

zone "acmebw.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.acmebw.com.external";
};

named2.conf:

// This is the internal name server

acl internal-net { 192.168/16; };

options {
    directory "/var/named2";
    listen-on { 192.168.0.1; };
    pid-file "/var/run/named2.pid";
    allow-query { internal-net; };
};

zone "acmebw.com" {
    type master;
    file "db.acmebw.com.internal";
};

Or something like that.
