Take a network trace on the AD DNS server and look at the timestamps between the receipt of the request from your client and the transmission of the reply. You'll be able to see each hop.
You don't have much of a choice considering all your clients need AD's DNS info, though...

For any name resolution that is not in my domain, my DNS server must pass the request up to our ISP for resolution. Is there a way to measure how long the added delay might be to gain a reply? In other words how much faster would it be if I were pointing directly at the ISP DNS servers, not my own that forward?
