I think you can just set up /etc/resolv.conf to look like this:

nameserver 88.23.32.12  # the IP address of the internet-based DNS server
nameserver 192.168.7.1  # the IP address of your local DNS server

You can pass that info to all clients in your /etc/dhcpd.conf file like
this:

option domain-name-servers 88.23.32.12 192.168.7.1;
