Correct on all counts. In fact tinydns won't be visible to your internal
network either. A request for dns service from an internal host goes to
dnscache, which forwards queries about external networks to external
servers, while passing requests for information about your internal
network to tinydns; tinydns returns the requested information to
dnscache, which passes it on to the internal host that made the original
request.
