Yes, that should fix it.

That's fine. However, if your bind is working correctly, there's no
reason to use your isp's servers, unless you really want to. If you do
want to use your isp's server, then the way to really do this is to
have only your local bind in resolv.conf, and to setup a forwarders
section in your bind config, pointing it at your isp's server. You
should however leave doing that for when you're comfortable with bind,
and once you're sure your copy of bind works as expected.
