I was surprised as well. I reconfigured the setup knowing I wouldn't
need dynamic DNS registration as all of the necessary systems already
had static DNS records and was surprised when the clients were still
registering with the AD.
Basically AD points to itself for DNS, forwards to Unbound (on another
system), which is cache/resolver and has stub-zone pointing to the AD.
All clients point the Unbound server for DNS resolution.
