Of course it does work, the extra NS query probably doesn't cost much.
It only has one drawback - I can't put my beloved wildcard MX-records,
pointing to the mail gateway, on the internal server.

I'd again have to reconfigure every single inside mail installation to
forward mail not inside our internal domain to the mail gateway (how
do you do this under UCX anyways?), spending even more time on the
phone answering people's questions who have newly set up their machine
than I now :(
