Isn't
there a risk, if the link to the remote DC were to fail, that the DC would be
unable to refresh its own DNS records resulting in loss of
services?

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Server Using its own IP as a Primary DNS
Hi All,
I have 2 remote sites, one in Singapore and the other in Sydney.
I am going to configure a new DC/DNS/GC for Sydney.
Singapore has 2 domain controllers running DNS.
The new system in Sydney uses the DC's in Singapore as it's primary/secondary DNS.
After I run DCPROMO and configure DNS on the Sydney box, should I continue pointing to Singapore, or should I have the system point to it's own IP as primary DNS.
I have heard two schools of thought on this issue, and just wanted to get an opinion.
Thanks,
-Jbl
