DFS, logonscripts and RRAS (NAT) ?

I promoted a server to be a Domain Controller by using the
CONFIGURE YOUR SERVER wizard, which automatically
configure the Active Directory Services, DNS and DHCP. I
also configure this server to use DFS and logonscripts.
The clients are configured to obtain IP addresses
automatically (no client configuration)from the DHCP
server that I created. In this configuration DFS and logon
scripts are working. My problem is when I configure this
server to be an Internet Server (Gateway) using Routing
and Remote Access Service (Using NAT). In order for my
Internet Clients to work, I need to configure the DNS
Server (Preferred and Alternate DNS) of each client to use
the DNS server of my ISP. In this case DFS and logon
scripts will not work. What additional configurations I
need to do for DFS, logonscripts and RRAS (NAT) combined
to work properly?

No, if you have DC -- a domain -- you need the clients
and the servers to all be configured to use the internal
DNS (on that DC it seems) as their preferred DNS and
NO OTHER, unless you have additional secondaries
inside your net.

Another post you mentioned the "." domain. If you only
have ONE domain/zone, delete the "." and then you
can use your ISP as a Forwarder.

MS DNS creates this if you install/configure it while it
is NOT connected to the Internet (can't reach the public
root servers so it makes it's own.)
