Yes, definitely, if I understand your question. Don't know what you mean by

Can you explain that? Do you mean you don't want to host your domain's
public DNS? If so, that's just fine, and is normal in small networks.
In an optimal AD setup, you're using your AD-integrated DNS server as the
only DNS server for all clients and servers, and set up forwarders to your
ISP's DNS servers/and/or use root hints to resolve Internet names. Don't put
external DNS server IPs in your server/client IP configs or you'll have
problems.
