I do not know who 'Matt Savin' is, but would he please reply to the
list and not directly to the OP, it is awfully hard to follow a thread
when you are only getting half of the conversation ;-)

The nameserver that any AD client uses must be able to resolve the AD
zones, that is, if you ask it for a DCs record, it can return it. If
your Windows clients are pointing at a nameserver that doesn't know
where your AD nameservers are, it will return NXDOMAIN.

There are two ways around this, you set your external nameserver to
forward all requests for your AD domain to a DC, or you use a DC as
your Windows clients nameserver.
