public DNS Server behind a router

I would like to know if it is possible to host a DNS server behind a router? So far I know the configuration is okay because inside my network I can see the webpages using my DNS Server... but when I try to change the DNS in my URL registrant I get an error, and I think that it has to do something with the fact that my Server is behind a Router... By the way, I have setup the router in a way that every port (Web, FTP, etc) are redirected to the server inside the LAN.

Sure you can, have your client machines all point to your DNS box then either setup DNS forwarding or STub DNS on your DNS box, I wouuld not use this public DNS on you DC, setup a diff box and load that DNS server.

Yes, this is possible. Just allow port 53 (UDP) through your firewall, and forward it to the DNS server box if necessary.
