As far as I am aware of you don't need to care if your internal domain is registered or not; even if it were registered, the adresses inside is of no use to the outside. So just put up your internal nameserver as usual... Just remember to masquerade your mail, so your adresses are deliverable. Even if you get a registered domain, what the outside need to know is not the same as what the inside need to know, so you need two nameservers, one (actually two) for the outside, and one for the inside.
