set dns query to local Server

Hi Experts

thanks for your in advance.

problem definition:
I have only 1 Active Directory server with DNS integrated in an isolated network and I want all DNS queries to be made to itself only so no DNS queries are broadcasted.
AD is imported from PROD environment and previously serving multiple zones and multiple different VLANs. I now need to use this imported AD DNS server to not to forward any broadcast queries to different DNS servers.

reasons: Server is imported from PROD environment so whatever the IP details it has in DNS tab should change I believe. it currently have multiple IP addresses listed primary and secondary DNS

options:
a)should I only set up one DNS server IP which would be the itself 127.0.0.1 as primary DNS server and that's it leave the rest with no config. only 1 DC in this isolated environment which holds all the FSMO roles and has no connections to PROD.
b) should set new port forwarding on Pfsense firewall to forward all DNS queries to 127.0.0.1

thanks for the help

just to be clear, server I'm talking about is AD DS server itself. it is the only server in isolated environment and will be the only one. so there should be no queries going out. DO you mean I should set the 127.0.0.1 in the section you mentioned?

thanks
