You can use whatever you like for domain naming with AD...I just like being
more descriptive.

you can use the same DNS name as your public DNS, you just need to set it up
properly using the Split-brain DNS design. We have two public domain, a .com
& .net. We use the .net internally for AD, all you need to do is configure
your internal DNS servers to use forwarders. This will forward all
non-authortative requests to your external DNS or your ISP DNS, depending on
hwo you want it done. This way your clients look to your dns for internal
name mappings, if it is not an internal name request your dns will hand it
off to the external DNS. Piece of cake, and it works awesome.

I'd like to know how you have AD running with no DNS :)
No, it doesn't matter where the DNS server is...as long as it's capable of
Dynamic DNS...which means MS DNS on a W2K machine.
As for the domain name, don't make it your public domain name...more for
management's sake. Eg. You might want to use acmead.com or acmead.net for
"Acme Active Directory Network"...just sounds cool. You can also use
ad.acme.com...keeping with your public domain name, but using a different
zone.
It's important that you use a zone separate from your public zone so you
don't have your SRV records replicating to your external DNS.
David.

My next question is on the AD 2K network there is no DNS server yet. It is
recommended to share DNS server with the DC on a network of maybe 250 users,
or should it have it's own server? Does it matter really?
