You can't. Its one of the things thats changed in 2003..... Prior to that is was vanilla domain lookups....

What would happen if am running MS DNS on Win Server 2000 ?

We create recently a corporate domain on win 2003 enviroment, but our production domain is running on win 2000 , all client computers are pointing to the production domain... mainly we need to find a way to do the process you explained on a MS DNS 2000

Thanks comments

Assuming I understood you correctly, if your MS DNS server is running on Windows Server 2003 then you could leverage stub zones or conditional forwarders.  With either method you could, for example, say any queries for "linux.com" (or whatever it's called) go to your Linux DNS server while all other queries that cannot be resolved locally are sent to forwarders/root hints.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Selectively overriding hierarchical lookup

How can one override a recursive lookup for a domain not hosted on a Microsoft DNS Server?
The scenario is a local network with a Microsoft DNS Server running both as an authoritative server for some local domains and as a DNS solver for all the internal clients.
So far, so good.

- For reasons outside the scope of this query, a separate authoritative server (djbdns on linux) was set up for certain domains belonging to the company.
This server has a private IP where the domains are being published for internal use, and it would be preferable for the Microsoft DNS Server to query this server directly for all these domains, rather than resolving hierarchically down from a root server.

- The local linux guys say this can be done easily on djbdns, just telling the cache the ips of the servers which all queries related to a domain should be directed to.
The question is: How can you tell a Microsoft DNS Server which servers to query for a certain domain, thus selectively bypassing the usual TLD-SLD-LD lookup?
