This is described in http://www.freeipa.org/page/Active_Directory_trust_setup 
<http://www.freeipa.org/page/Active_Directory_trust_setup> (section 5.3)

See the link above, it really depends on your infrastructure but if you already 
have the IPA server acting as a DNS server, then I would guess it would be IPA 
DNS and in the IPA DNS you would configure a conditional forwarder to the AD 
DNS.

This depends on the IPA and SSSD version you are using. Up to IPA 4.5 and SSSD 
1.15, you would either use qualified names (u...@windows.foo 
<mailto:u...@windows.foo>) or ‘pin’ the short usernames to one domain with the 
default_domain_suffix. Starting with IPA 4.5 and SSSD 1.15 you can also set the 
domain resolution order:

Conflicting usernames are distinguished between by qualifying them with the 
domain suffix (u...@windows.foo <mailto:u...@windows.foo> versus u...@linux.bar 
<mailto:u...@linux.bar>)
