Most importantly, point the server to its own IP address for DNS in TCP/IP
properties, and point all clients to the server for DNS. Restart the
netlogon service and run ipconfig /registerdns. Another handy tool for
diagnosing DNS and network problems is Netdiag, which is on the server CD in
Server support tools.
For netdiag help run netdiag /h

Use the DNS console on the server, expand the server and open Forward Lookup
Zones, if there is a dot forward lookup zone delete it. Close and reopen the
DNS console, right click on the server in the console and choose properties,
select the forwarders tab, select enable forwarders and put your routers IP
address in as its forwarder.

The logon service needs DNS to locate a Domain Controller

Not sure what you mean here.

If the DNS on the router supports SRV records you can use
that the router as the DNS server. If the router's DNS
supports daynamic updates (DDNS) even better.

However, they cannot both be primary for your zone. Make
them primary for different zones or make the router DNS
secondary.
