I doubt that the AD integration is an issue.  Ours is AD-integrated also.
DNS will cache by default unless you have changed something.
Here are some things to try/look at.  Hopefully someone else will chime in
as well.

1.  Enable forwarders and disable recursion.  Let the ISP take care of the
internet lookups.
2.  On the Monitoring tab, test to see if simple and recursive queries are
working.
3.  Make sure that the DNS server is configured to use only itself for DNS
in TCP/IP Properties.

I've tried putting the local DNS second inline, but this did not work, as
the GPO did not load.

I want my local DNS to cache, could I have a setting incorrect on this?

It appears to me that the DNS is not working correctly becuase it does not
go to the next DNS to resolve.  I'm using Active directory for my dns, not
primary or secondary.  Could that be an issue.

I have only ONE local DNS server.

Better yet, set the next in line to be the local secondary dns for fault
tolerance.

You probably could, but as a best practice, it is more efficient for the
local DNS to cache lookups from the ISP than to have each client passing
lookup traffic to the internet.

Why couldn't they setup the first DNS server on the workstation to be the
local and the next in line be the ISP DNS server?
