When you install dns on a server he will automaticaly relove ip adresses (not with your ISP dns servers) with the root dns servers

and it automaticaly creates a cash

by reference

If you still have a need to use your ISP's DNS,
You can put "forwarders" in the DSN Server properties.
Under DNS snap-in, right-click on your server, goto properties, click on forwarders, enable forwarders, and input your ISP's DNS ip
addresss(s)
-You may also want to load support tools from the server CD, once support tools are loaded run netdiag /fix from a command prompt, this will fix minor DNS issues, and insure that your DNS is functioning prperly.
Hope it helps!
