If this is one AD domain and both DNS server are on DCs (recommended)
instead of using Primary and Secondary zones, you should use Active
Directory integrated zones. Then the zones will get replicated to both DCs
with no action from you. Then in that case _BOTH_ DNS servers should forward
to the ISP and certainly _not_ to each other.

It is really that simple since they are on the same network segment.
