would that not slow down external mail delivery?

MailScanner doesn't do any email delivery, rather it sends it to the MTA
  (via placing the message in the correct queue) and the MTA does the
delivery

Why not merely use the internal DNS server in the resolve.conf and have
the local DNS server forward unknown queries to the outside world?
