So you would setup one forwarder to your router and you should be good? Or
should you setup multiple forwarders? Is this a standard process. I have
a
few networks and have never set this up before. Thanks for the link I am
trying to learn all about DNS because of the issues it can cause.

I would setup every internal DNS server to forward to the router unless
there is somewhere better for them to forward.

Think about it this way (DNS has to make SENSE): How would the
client resolve Internet names if it used a DNS server which didn't forward
to retrieve those names?

are very slow when logging in to the server. DNS problem I know.
What do I
need to change?

All servers and clients should point to the internal DNS only, if the
internal DNS is unable to resolve internet names, check for the existence
of
a "." (Root) forward lookup zone, if you have one, delete it, then close
and
re-open the DNS console. Check that the Root Hints are loaded and
resolved,
then you can enable a forwarder to the router or ISP.
