Mark, I have solved it - but some other admins might want to shut their eyes while I explain the resolution ;-)
Basically, I set the DHCP to point to my DNS as the only DNS (not the router/internet). Then, on my DNS server (which is the root for my domain) I deleted the "." zone. This enabled the DNS to be a forwarder, and I set it to forward requests to my router, which handles the rest. SO all internet DNS requests are now handled through my DNS effectively. The only thing it means is that I can't get to the internet site for my internal domain name (www.nettech.co.nz) but then as I made the site, it's no biggie if I can't see it.
