There's actually a major security issue with running DHCP on an AD DC with DNS service as well.
I can't remember the specifics, which are laid out in Technet, but in a nutshell, it is possible for any box receiving a DHCP assigned address to update any DNS record in a zone which is configured for Dynamic Updates. Long story short - run DHCP on separate boxes whenever possible. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
