All I can say is that it should work and swapping the dns server
shouldn't make any difference.

As long as all your AD clients are in the AD dns and nowhere else, it
should work.

You can remove the 'server services' line you have added, not having
one is the same as having one with all the servers listed.

Is anything else listening on port 53 ?
