Well, the cost/benefits/risks of separating authoritative and recursive on
different *servers* (as opposed to different NICs, views, or whatever) is
actually a hotly-debated topic among experts. I know some non-DNS-expert
opinions, from the InfoSec side of the house, consider hardware-level
separation "ideal", but frankly, I don't think they understand the concepts of
NIC- or view-level separation, and need to be edumacated. Personally, I prefer
a larger number of multi-role boxes, with view separation. The larger number of
boxes means more availability and resilience against, say, Denial of Service
attacks, which can target recursive service *or* authoritative service *or*
both.
By the way, the original poster never said that he was hosting any zones
authoritatively to the Internet on NS1, so why would you assume that he is? He
said only that it served "external clients", but those could be *recursive*
clients, for all we know.
That having been said, I concur with your technical recommendations.

Ideally you should setup a completely separate caching/forwarding server and
not be using the external DNS box (NS1) for this purpose.
On the box you are forwarding the queries to (NS1) you need to enable recursion
and specify an ACL for recursion to limit it to only allowing recursion from
the internal DNS1 box.
On the internal DNS box (DNS1) also make sure recursion is enabled and an ACL
in place allowing your client subnets, and configure forward zones for
sharepoint.com and microsoft.com zones (and any other zones needed by the
sharepoint service) to point at the NS1 box.
