The question is this: where should each DC’s DNS point? I have always thought they should point to themselves and only themselves. The DNS server forwards to the Internet (as everything is poorly connected). The in-house tech said Microsoft told him to point each DC’s primary DNS to the FSMO-role holder and then to itself as secondary.
This tech guy was talking probably about "server islands" problem. it is necessary to point to some other then local server on the time of promotion, but then with proper configuration You can point DC to itself as DNS server (read method scenario in KB which url is listed below).
