I'd avoid using the .local TLD due to RFC 6762.  You might also
consider whether mDNS is actually the easiest solution to your
problem.

I don't know what you mean by "force the DNS" but in general most OSes
will just have a list of DNS servers that they will pick from either
in order or randomly, and without regard to what the TLD is.  So,
you'll probably want to tell them to use your internal DNS server as
the only DNS server.  This means it needs to be authoritative for your
internal domain and resolving for the others.

If you used the .local TLD then you might also be running into issues
with conflicts with RFC 6762.

BIND is capable of doing the job - I have it set up to resolve an
internal domain and outside DNS.

I have BIND set up to forward first to Google DNS, and then added my
zones to it.
