I think you are miss-understanding the use of a forwarder in Samba
DNS.>

I think you mean that you can run a command similar to this: 'dig
my.AD.dns.domain' and you get a reply and that you can also run a
command similar to this: 'dig google.com' and also get a reply, if so,
then everything is correct.
A Samba AD DC is authoritative for its dns domain and will return
information for everything inside its own dns domain. For anything
outside its dns domain, it asks its forwarder and returns the result
from the forwarder.

Samba and Bind9 work in exactly the same way
I have cc'ed the samba mailing list, because this is where you should
have asked this question, please make any replies to the samba mailing list.
