If I understand correctly, you want to run a backup MX machine for some
domain (which you didn't state). You have a nameserver running on a
public IP address.
If your company owns (registers) the domain you're talking about, then
you have just about everything you need, already in place. You don't
need to resolve anything against your ISP's nameservers.
You need to add your nameserver to the domain's whois records as an
authoritative DNS server. You should have at least two nameservers in
that list. Designate one of them as master: It will carry the
zonefile, and should be a machine where you have edit access to the
zonefile (along with the ability to stop and start the nameserver
process). All other listed nameservers will serve up the zonefile
as retrieved from the master (and will thus be operating in "slave"
mode for that zonefile.
In the zonefile's reference records, you can specify MX order using the
usual numeric priority (10, 20, etc.).

Unless you do something very clever such as port forwarding, inbound
mail from the Internet will be unable to reach the mail server on the
inside network, which would limit your ability to test.

BIND 9.1.3 is outdated. You should upgrade, e.g. to 9.2.1.
