It should work if you forward anything outside the AD domain to your
other dns server, as long as your other dns server doesn't contain
anything of your AD records and is setup to forward anything unknown to
another dns server i.e. 8.8.8.8. So, using Googles dns server instead
of your other dns server should work.
