Leaving other comments asside, is your ip address the primary
nameserver (desognated via the domain registrare) for your domain? If
not, just leave the AD DNS server with private info, and don't port
forward this on the router, because nobody will query it.

If this is indeed the case, and you are sure of what you are doing,
then...

I had a similar set-up to you, what I did was to get Simple DNS Plus
(http://www.jhsoft.com>, set it to listen on port 5353, port forward
TCP and UDP ports 53 on WAN to 192.168.1.4:5353, then populate it with
public DNS data. I have since had to move for various reasons to
using a duel NIC setup with AD DNS server listening on one NIC and
Simple DNS Plus listening on the other, but that was due to a router
issue.
