Have you tried using a local nameserver with forwarders in named.conf?  If
that has the same behavior of punting on the first negative answer, then
you can at least do your own split-DNS client config for particular zones.
i.e.:

zone "inside.here.com" { forwarders ...; }
zone "other-inside.here.com" { forwarders ...; }
