Thank you for that Jorge. I am sorry that what I said goes against your
explanation. I understand forwarders and conditional forwarders. Can you
confirm that what I said is never a possibilty?

You must be joking... That's your reason to not use forwarders?

Remember Forwarders don't have to necessarily be external/public DNS
servers.

With forwarders you are relaying on set name servers to resolve requests
that
are not in the resolver cache. Then if these devices can not be contacted
for
various reasons you can not resolve hostnames for external resources.

Hi
I vote in Forwarders the reason is security, with forwarders your server
won't go to public "you must select the option disable recursion for this
domain".
Now, if all your clients do ONLY external resolution why not have a cache
only DNS server to do that job?

Hello,

I'm trying to configure my DC servers as a DNS server. Should I set it
for Forworders or Root hint? This is AD integrated DNS. But all my
users
will resolve to outside with this DNS server.
