Hi pscit04,<br />
W2K by default will act as a full DNS server. If you have an access-list applied to the internal interface just make sure the W2K server is permitted to communicate out on UDP port 53 and it will work. For AD to work correctly all your internal windows machines should use the W2K server as their DNS server anyway.

You need to make sure you allow TCP port 23 as well from the outside.<br />

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
