Server 2012 DNS Server
Hello,
I have a small network set up using Windows Server 2012. I have a Comcast Business Internet connection. The ISP comes into a wireless Linksys router which is currently handling the DHCP. I have one physical server and 2 Hyper-V server 2012 set up. One of the vm machines is my DC. I have assigned static ips to all machines. I had some trouble getting the other two machines to join the domain until I pointed them to the DC for DNS. This cleared up that issue but then none of the machines could get to the internet until I put a secondary DNS entry to a public DNS server. What am I missing here? Shouldn't the DNS run through the DC and resolve names to the internet?
Thank you

The purpose of them is for when your DC cannot locate a resource internally, to forward the request to outside DNS servers and see if results come along.
Here's a link with how to do it: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754941.aspx
You only need to follow the section called "To configure a DNS server to use forwarders using the Windows interface"
You could use Comcast's DNS servers, but I tend to prefer Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Isn't this essentially what I am doing by using the 8.8.4.4 as a secondary? Or, if I do that way I would be required to add the secondary on each machine as I add them to the domain?
