if your dns server is answering requests for internal clients only, then you do not need to create any additional rules or open ports, the default rule already allows this outbound dns traffic.  if you want your dns to answer external requests, then yes you need to allow for it.
 
all this assuming the server is behind the firewall (not in the dmz)

Subject: [SonicWALL]- DNS set to use forwarders

do I need to open the dns port if my internal dns server (configured as a dns forwarder) is set to use my isp's dns to forward requests it cannot answer?
