DNS is your problem, active directory depends on dns. You should have the AD
server provide all the clients with dns information, as well as it pointing
to itself only. DNS by itself will resolve all outside sites you need so you
wont kill the internet browsing.
You are providing a wonderful point of entry for hackers in your setup, you
NEED to have some kind of firewall between the pdc and your internet
connection.
