it seems like localhost don't fall into the internal-in view,
if you get it to work with this lines (see above), check how your  
view internal-in is defined.

I run a dns trap, by applying a rate after the recursive dns is  
blocked for the world, and there hasn't been ONE incident in five  
years (since march 2001 to be exact).

the problem seems to be over estimated, since there are huge  
providers stil not closing their recursive dns from the outside (not  
to fingerpoint anybody, but the only extra large ripe class provider  
in austria is still doing it).

ps: but in general, and for new installations I have to support  
morten, don't open recursive for all. not b/c of the scriptkiddies  
and spammers, but because of the DoS chance. You need your nameserver  
badly.
