We are getting ready to upgrade out NT4 domain to AD and I have a simple DNS question.  Right now we use domain.com internally for our network.  However when we go to AD we want to use ad.domain.com for our domain name and keep domain.com for just our static DNS entries we have.  This way all the dynamic entries are seperated from the static ones. 
 
My question is I want to create the domain name before we upgrade our PDC.  Our PDC is also our primary DNS server.  In the NT4 DNS admin do I create the DNS zone under domain.com (shows up as a subfolder) or do I create a totally new zone called ad.domain.com (shows up as a seperate domain from domain.com in the list)?  Or is there any difference in how I set it up?  Or am I just being picky about something that doesn't even matter? 
 
Thanks
Mike
