I don't think much else needs to be changed from a configuration view,
except that the dstdomain ACL has been cleaned up a lot and requires
some rewriting of the name list (domains begins witha dot, hosts not).

If you go for internal DNS then most directives related to DNS should
also be removed.

I am not sure what to recommend regarding the DNS at this time. The
internal DNS implementation is still young and have some minor issues
left to solve, but the external DNS implementation also has it's issues
with queue lengths and so on (I have patches for the external DNS to
make it acceptable, but it is not yet part of the standard
distribution).
