I've set up a caching/forwarding nameserver on Slack 7.1. Can the windows boxes that I'm masqing use this for their nameserver on the internal interface (eth1)?

One way to find would be to try it. But it should work as long as everything is properly configured and you don't have a firewall blocking traffic on the named port(53 IIRC).

I wasn't able to try when I posted. If anyone cares it will work but you must use your external IP.

Not a must. If it's bind to localhost, then it won't work. You can bind to your 192.168.0.1 NIC but then you will need to run an authoritative nameserver for your local network and configure your local zone records.
