Just changes are replicated during normal replication and within the domain. Sites can cross domains remember so cross site replication will have to do with what domains are playing, what DC from what domains are across sites etc. Also, the only info replicated outside of the domain is information contained in the partial attribute set or the domain naming context. These attributes are replicated to GC servers in all domains in the forest. Configuration NC and Schema NC are fully replicated between domains within the forest.
Replication is pretty complex and can't really be summed up this simply I suggest you take a look at Replmon and Repadmin from the resource kit (or are they in the support tools?)Also you can turn NTDSdiagnostics on to log replication events and really see what's going on. Definitely take a look at the info in the resource kit on replication in the distributed systems guide. There is a ton of info out there.

We are doing our DNS/Domain design for AD, and having a discussion here and the question that we have here is what gets replicated during AD replication? Does all of the AD dbase get replicated between sites or just changes? Does all of the AD dbase get replicated between child domains or is just changes? ___ \\ - - // ([EMAIL PROTECTED]@--) +-----------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------------------+ | \\_////|\\\\_// | |John M.
