Configure you windows to _only_ ask your linux. If the question is 
outside your domain the linux will go out and "get the answer".

This will also cache all your questions locally, so repeated lookup will
be much faster.

As an extra bonus you can create the zone "doubleclick.net" and fill with 
zero 'A' records, this saves even more time for you and your colleges.
