I think they mean to stop and disable the windows DNS Client Service:
NO!! the DNS client aka "resolver" (resolves DNS queries into answers), must be kept on, but it's caching must be turned off. stop the resolver, and your machine is useless for ip networking.
this service is stopped, this computer will not be able to resolve DNS names and locate Active Directory domain controllers.
... aka "shot myself in the foot"

I believe this would cause the server/workstation to go upstream for DNS Resolution.
no, it won't. what queries DNS is the resolver: no resolver, no DNs queries.
just turn off the resolver's caching.
You may/may not want to do this.
no, you NEVER want to stop the DNS resolver
