You avoid a second machine for internal/external DNS bu using BIND 9.1.x which

Subject: Re: dns for qmail only??
You need to run a separate DNS server for internal queries, that's how I
have my DNS set up. We use a separate DNS server for the internal
addresses and we don't have any problems. qmail ignores /etc/hosts,
it needs a DNS server.
