On the server you need to have the machine point to its own address for DNS server, you then need to add root hints to resolve anything that your internal server can't resolve, also if you like you can add forwarders.

Your other domain controller should have a copy of the main DC DNS.

I knew how to configure the root DC as DNS server and configure as forwarder, but in ADC which entries i have to add like SOA, NS like that and is it necessary after entering this records to change IP in clients side for DNS server.otherwise please see my first quotation and can tell me how to setup ADC for my setup.
