I believe the server that's on the DMZ is a BIND server.  If I 
understand correctly, he wants the public to query this server, and it 
forwards to the internal AD server.

As I said in my previous response, this won't work correctly.  The 
public will expect this server to be authoritative, but if it forwards 
then it won't be.
