What is the best way to configure DNS in a domain tree model?

If I have a parent domain running AD Integrated DNS and I go to DC Promo a
child domain to make it a new child domain of an existing tree, the DNS must
reference the Parent DNS so that DC Promo can find the forest root.  After
the DC Promo is done, even though the new domain controller in the child
domain is a DNS Server with itself listed as an alternate, it did not have a
DNS zone created, because AD Integrated do not replicate over domain
boundaries.  Therefore how do I make it so that DNS works correctly and the
local administrators can update DNS via DHCP or manually and have those
changes also in the root.

I have a test environment called TESTLAB.LOCAL
My child domain is called CHILD.TESTLAB.LOCAL

My DNS in the root has a zone for TESTLAB.LOCAL
After I ran DC Promo I had another folder in TESTLAB.LOCAL called CHILD

What did I do wrong?
