You nuts course your domain controller needs internet connection, your domain controller has 2 nics right it shares internet with the lan so if you take away the gateway it cant access the internet.

Does your domain controller also share the Internet connection to your lan?

Lost me, you say when you remove the gateway from the config, your users lose internet connection. Now I asked you if your Domain Controller is sharing its internet connection with the lan you said no as above so what server is your IIS services running on to share the internet with the lan?

Could be a DNS issue
If your domain controller is acting as the DNS server for your network and the computers on the network are using ONLY the domain controller for DNS, then the domain controller would need to be able to get to the internet for DNS lookups for external sites like techrepublic.com.
Is that how you are set up?

yes but only for local ... the gateways have their own dns ip's from the providers...example im from costa rica so those gateway servers have 2 or 3 costarican dns ip's configured but those dns ip's are set up only in the gateway servers...
DC - 10.0.0.1
BDC - 10.0.0.2
Gateway1 - 10.0.0.200
Gateway2 - 10.0.0.201
Gateway3 - 10.0.0.202
Gateway4 - 10.0.0.203
Proxy - 10.0.0.204
so all pc's have dns 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2
and the allowed internet computers have Gateway 10.0.0.202 manually configured...
the ones not internet allowed have 10.0.0.200 automatic configured... how is that possible?
somebody change something in my server ? but what?
the question i have is my restricted internet clients when i make ipconfig show's me an gateway ip address , where those clients take that information.
DC - 10.0.0.1

The trick here is that if your clients are set to use your DC as DNS and the DCs don't have internet access your clients will not be able to resolve any non local DNS names regardless of what DNS servers you have set up on your gateways. The clients will not query their default gateway for DNS info unless told to do so.

If you have more than 1 DNS server listed in your client DNS settings, it will only go to the second one if the first one doesn't respond to the DNS query. If it connects to the first one and the first one, in this case the DC, can't resolve it, the DC responds that it can't find it. Since the client received a response, it doesn't try any more DNS servers.
So if you have an internet allowed client with 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, and 10.0.0.202 set as the DNS servers, it will only use 10.0.0.202 if there is no response from the first two.
As far as the unexplained gateway address, check the IP settings on the client. I have seen manual settings stick after changing the client to DHCP.

Try this,
Install a secondary dns server, configure this server with a default gateway to the internet. Configure the Domain Controller with DNS to forward DNS queries for non-authoritative zones (such as internet names)to the secondary dns server.
