I can't enable forwarders, it says this is the root server.

        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?
