No, this is not the only way. You can also set up a private root zone within
your intranet. Check the O'Reilly DNS book for the details.

What is the standard method of setting up DNS behind a firewall? If my
nameserver can not reach the root servers, it will hang....

I have read where you can set up a forwarding directive that will send
requests to another nameserver that CAN reach the root servers.. It this the
only way ?
