My DNS machine can do lookups to the outside world, and it can do lookups for my internal network, but of course, it can't do lookups for the outside world to my internal network, as I am using unroutable IPs. I wouldn't run DNS on your firewall machine. I prefer not to run any services at all on my firewalls.
