DNS Question

My ISP just asked me if I needed them to host our DNS for us.  If so primary or secondary, but we have a windows server running DNS for us in the office.  Does this mean I can tell them no.  Thanks.  I need some help ASAP!!

Your isp is talking about PUBLIC DNS for your domain name. Anyone who has an active directory domain is has at least one internal dns server on their lan, that doesn't mean the allow or want to allow internet hosts to connect to it to do lookups. You didn't mention much about your setup, so I'm going to assume this windows server running dns for your office is just an AD dns server and local resolver for the office workstations. In that case you probably will want your ISP to host both primary and secondary for your internet DNS. You can always change it later.
