This did work, I am able to ping Google's IP and DNS with DNS entries in the server! Thank you much!!!!!
Just to confirm I assume that if I have only set a policy to have the new zone (R&D) to the Untrust with "Any" that this is strictly the outbound communication and not opening up the server to the world... also given that there are no MIP's or Policies saying "yes, please send viruses inbound to this zone" (my attempt at comedic relief).
Thanks again!!!!
