I have two computers in two active directory domains in a forest: kii.kimball.com and ads.kimball.com. Each hosts their respective DNS zones as AD integrated zones. I'd like for each DNS server to handle both zones. The 2000 resource kit TCP/IP core networking book (page 379) claims that when a DNS server starts it loads all zones found in AD (if it is configured to get zone data from AD), but I don't see this happening. Each server loads it's own zone and ignores the other (even though they are both in AD). I've thought of two possible ways to get what I want:
1. Make each DNS server standard secondaries for the other zone. 2. Edit the registry key that controls which zone the DNS server loads. I've done #1 and it works, but I can't help feeling that this is just "wrong". I'm a bit leery of #2, but I may try it. Suggestions? Am I mis-interpreting the TCP/IP book?
