Adding a forward zone like Martin suggested works.
I will definitely read the section you linked to get a better understanding of the differences between both.
Doing a dig for google.com won't work in our case, because the servers are not internet-facing.

Martin could be right, but this depends on your setup.
Please read chapter "Managing DNS Forwarding" in our docs:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/managing-dns-forwarding.html
It explains the difference between global and per-zone forwarding (I hope :-) so it will be easier to decide what should be used.
BTW does the command
$ dig @192.168.1.1 www.google.com. SOA
work?
(Assuming that neither google.com. nor com. are your AD domains :-))
