Hi Mike,
For such a environment you can let the Wizard "Configure your server"
let the job do for you. Make sure that you configure the DNS-Clients of
the Servers and the clients to point to the DC. If you need public
DNS-Resolution then configure the DNS-Server to forward to your public
DNS-Server.
If you have more specific questions - just get back in here. But doing
the wizard first, then taking the clients into the domain and
fine-tuning the DNS-Clients should do the job for you.
HTH.
