Just create a new DNS zone? You do not need to create a new Active Directory (sub)domain. You don't even need to create a new DNS zone of authority. Just create A resource records for the "hostX" names. You don't even need to have any resource records for <ourdepartment.internaldomain.local.> at all. (FYI: Technically all names in DNS are "domain names". Even <host1.ourdepartment.internaldomain.local.> with just an A record is still a "domain name". This usually doesn't matter, but as a DNS weenie I have to remark on this, or I'll lose my membership in the DNS Weenie Club. (I get 10% off all my SOA records.)) -- Ben PG&E is committed to protecting our customers' privacy. To learn more, please visit http://www.pge.com/about/company/privacy/customer/
