I'm in high school and want to learn about system administration, so I set up a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller in a lab and created the domain ad.foo.com. I own foo.com and the domain registrar (Gandi) handles the DNS and hosts my personal website.
In my lab, I've installed the DNS role on the domain controller but I'm unsure of what the Forward Lookup Zone for the domain should be. The DNS "New Zone" wizard says:
The zone name specifies the portion of the DNS namespace for which this server is authoritative. [...]
I only want the DNS Server to handle the computers in my lab's ad.foo.com domain, so is putting ad.foo.com the correct thing to do?
I appreciate your inputs.

process. It's kinda odd that it wasn't created for you.
