Why won't it work? It should. All servers and workstations should specify
*only* the internal AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in their network
settings. The AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with forwarders to
your ISP's DNS servers for external resolution (I wouldn't rely on root
hints alone). See

info.
