What exactly are you trying to do? Your DC would not be authoritative with your ISP for Name to IP address resolution, that would be handled by your domain name registrar. If you want name to IP address resolution using your DC then you register your name server with the domain registry.

If you cannot add your ISP's IP address as a forwarder in DNS server properties, this usually means your DNS server has been created as a root server.

A Root server is authoritative for ALL DNS queries, not just local queries.

If you have a zone naed ".", this means you DNS server is configured as a Root server. You must delete this zone in order to configure a forwarder.

Hope this helps.
