You are going to configure it in the All other domains box. Yy and zz
are asking xx, xx is forwarding to your ISP.

I'd set the TCP/IP-Client _in every domain_ to the same machine, so if
you have two dns-servers in any domain have them both use the same
dns-server as primary and the other as secondary.
yy.xx.com will be able to resolve server1.xx.com because you set the
forwarders, and remember that you can't use shortnames for machines in
other dns-domains, so a ping server1.xx.com from a server in yy.xx.com
should work.

AD-Replication: replmon out of the support tools
DNS: If you have secondaries you can try the zone transfer (there's a
load from master or anything like that in the context menu of the
zone), if you don't have secondaries you have either AD-Replication
(see above) or nothing to check.
Get familiar with nslookup - start nslookup without parameters on any
machine:
Use "server %ipadress%" to configure nslookup which server to query
Use "set type=A" to configure nslookup to ask for host records, then
query your servername, e.g. "server1.yy.xx.com"
Use "set type=SOA" to find out if a server has a writeable copy of the
zone, then enter the zone, e.g. "yy.xx.com"
Use "set type=NS" to find out who the nameservers for a specific zone
are (primary and secondary), then enter the zone, e.g. "yy.xx.com".
Try to resolve every domain from every dns-server, it should work if
you have everything configured right.
