Multiple DNS servers configured on a client - which one is used when and why?

I am building the Magic Triangle setup where we have Mac laptops bound to both Active Directory on a Windows 2012 server & bound to Open Directory on a Mac Server 10.8.

If I manually configured 2 DNS servers on the Mac laptop:

192.168.1.10 (Windows server)
and
8.8.8.8

How do I control which DNS server gets used when?

I want the laptop to use our Windows server while the laptop is on the LAN, but when Bob takes his laptop home, I want his laptop to use the other DNS server since it won't be able to talk to our Windows server when he has his laptop at his home.

Thanks!
