I would remove that DNS server out of the nameservers list first of all.

Now as far as no domain connectivity, and help with the Rcode erro, I'll
need to ask to see a couple things:

1. Unedited ipconfig /all
2. The zone name in DNS and if it has updates set to at least allow.
3. The AD DNS domain name.

Thanks!

Keep in mind, I've also seen dupe errors where the domain name and the
computer name were the same and if the computer name was called "Internet".
Siongle label names may cause excessive recursion to the forwarder as well.
Let's see that info to narrow it down.
