Workstations should be in the highest security NIC & therefore should be
able to connect to the DNS servers on a DMZ with no doctoring.  In some
cases people use an alias to translate the internal IP of the DNS server to
the external for users inside the firewall trying to reach the DNS server.
If that is your case, try looking up alias commands.  Otherwise, it's all
enabled outbound unless access-list commands are enabled from inside -> DMZ.
