I found that.
Thanks.
I guess what my question is, what is the point/relationship of the ForestDnsZones subdomain folder in your dns zone?
Its my understanding there is an App partition called dc=ForestDnsZones,Dc=root,DC=com which houses the root dns entries and srv rr for GC's and DC guid's.
How does that relate to the subdomain i see in DNS called ForestDnsZones?
This subdomain only contains site specific records for ldap servers.
Thanks

If you have configured the DNS ZONE _MSDCS.FORESTROOT with the "to all DNS/DC servers in the forest" you must have a separate DNS zone configured as such.
To see more you could fire up LDP and browse to CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=<FORESTROOT>,DC=<TLD> and see the contents of the DNS app partition/NC. If you have configured DNS zones with the forest replication scope you'll see them listed there

I think you are looking inside the wrong folder...
you are looking into the DNS subdomain folder ForestDnsZones within the forestroot DNS zone. Either look inside the DNS subdomain _MSDCS within the forestroot DNS zone or look inside the DNS zone _MSDCS.forestroot DNS zone if you have configured it with its own replication scope (DNS-domain, DNS-forest or DCs-domain)

It is.
I think i'm missing something.
In ForestDnsZones folder in dns management, I just have ldap site info.
There is the usual _msdcs.forestroot subdomain folder in the root domain zone but i thought that stuff should be in the ForestDnsZones folder thats in the app partition?
I know i'm not getting something obivious because this same thing happens in every test win2k3 forest i create.
thanks

true.. they should be there. if your replication is working the CNAME records must be available otherwise you would have little replication ;-)
Are you sure the replication scope is set to all dns servers in the forest, secure dynamic updates are enabled, etc.

Ok, am I missing something here?
I thought one of the main points of this concept was so the forest _msdcs.forestroot.com which contained the GC RR's and the DC GUID cname records could be accessed and updated from any child domain in the forest?
But the ForestDnsZones app partition only has site specific ldap records DC's.
What happened to the GC/DC GUID records?
Thanks
