Off the top of my head, as long as the forwarders section in named.conf is set up correctly, and you're able to successfully route out to the internet, you shouldn't have any problem. Even with IP forwarding enabled, your box should know the difference between the internal and external subnets.
You say Apache works on the same box, so your routing is probably fine. I would double-check the forwarders section of your named.conf to make sure there's no typo in the IP address, etc.
