Just set up your DNS as authoritative for these domains. To prevent it
trying to access the global root servers whenever you try and access a
domain outside of your network you can make your DNS server a root server,
that makes it think it has all data for the whole network and just reply
with a "no such host" for domains it doesn't know about.
