It sounds like you already did it, assuming the "internal" ACL correctly
matches your internal addresses.

If you're still getting lots of lame delegation warnings, it must be due to
queries coming from your network.  There are lots of lame delegations out
there, especially for reverse domains; so any software that does lots of
reverse DNS lookups (like mail servers or web server log analyzers) will
cause many of these warnings.
