Of course. You'd have to have an authority server. But at the same
time you can't use your authority server for lookups where you are not
the authority: hence, a resolver. And the resolver must be aware of
which authority to contact for non-root TLDs.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, this is the standard setup.
The DNS server on the internal network is authoritative for a certain
set of domains. Anything other than that is automatically resolved
recursively. Why would it be any different for the .home domain?
