Please disregard. I ended up just disabling DHCP on the router and moving it my Windows server and the DNS issues are resolved.
Thanks
I received this response from another master forum user:
"Even though you set up different DNS IP addresses, DNS Relay proxy on NG routers is in effect thus all connected devices will get a 192.168.1.1 IP address for there DNS. There is no way to disable this DNS proxy on NG routers.
I see you may have a Orbi Pro, something that should be posted here:

As the Pro differs in FW and software. Maybe the Pro version can support disabling of DNS Proxying. You'll need to ask there. "
Can this be confirmed or not as a limitation on the Orbi Pro as well as he as stated?If so it sounds like my best solution to the problem is to just set up DHCP on my Windows server and disable it on the router.From what i have read in other IT forums its best practice to have DNS and DHCP on the same server as your domain controller if you are using active directory which we are
Thanks

Anyone out there have any feedback on this? I am still waiting on Level 2 support to respond back to me as to whether or not thier engineers have a workaround before I make a plan to move my DHCP server off the router onto my Windows server.
Thanks again
