1.) I will point my DC's gateway to the router.
2.) On the TCP/IP of my DC's NIC I will only put 127.0.0.1 on the DNS Server and leave the 2nd one blank.
Presuming this is correct, I just have a curious question.
Will the DC be intelligent enough to forward the internet DNS request to the up-level DNS Servers (My ISP's DNS server)?
Here's my 2nd alternative.
I setup an ISA Server with a DNS Server as my router/gateway.
Now that all of my client computers gateway and dns point to the ISA Server.
How can the ISA Server forward DC related DNS queries by client computers to the DC itself?

Your DC doesn't have its default gateway pointing to your router, but your PC does? If you point your DC's default gateway to the router, it should be able to forward DNS resolution requests to one of the up-level DNS servers.
I'm presuming that your DC is also your DNS server. If my presumption is correct, be sure your DC has only itself as its primary DNS resolver and no secondary DNS resolver. This configuration will cause your DNS server to automatically forward the name resolution request to higher level DNS servers on the Internet.
