Windows Name server help

[Sir Asvald]

I've got my own servers at home and I've got a nameserver I would like to use it. How would I go about port forwarding everything? The OS is Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter.

 

Thanks.

Do you mean port forwarding external requests to the server itself for domain resolution or internal hosts to the server for DNS?

External. I've got my DC as my internal DNS.

If you set the DNS server as primary DNS server for the clients they should always look at this DNS server first. If the server can't find it it will either forward the request or returns it can't find it, in that case the clients can use there secondary DNS server.

But I need it because of my website and other apps.

Do you need to be able to use the DNS outside your LAN?

Ah so you have for example the website example.com and you want to manage all the subdomeins etc for thid domain yourself? Like you want to manage the records for app.exampe.com or api.example.com etc?
you could take a look at this topic about why you don't want to do this:
