There is nothing special in such setup. Just configure BIND like for
an outside domain:

named.conf:

zone "internal.norrbring.se" { // There is no TLD reserved for local
                              // use, let's use a global name
      type master; 
      allow-transfer {
              none;
      };
      file "/etc/bind/db.internal.norrbring.se";
};

db.internal.norrbring.se:

; Local network, let's use very small TTLs
$TTL 300
@                       IN      SOA     ns1.internal.norrbring.se.     
                              hostmaster.norrbring.se. (
                                        2006081203 
                                        600   
                                        300    
                                        200000 
                                        60)
                        IN      NS      ns1.internal.norrbring.se.
