Is it too early to start drinking yet? :-)

Win2000 AD, in a parent child config. Some may have seen my "Island
DNS" posting earlier; that seems to be resolved. Now I have a new
problem ...

"The DNS server was unable to load a resource record (RR) from the
directory at wrk.wrk.ads.company.com in zone ads.company.com."

The AD parent zone name is "ads", and the child domain zone is "wrk".
So what is with the "wrk.wrk"?

My parent (or forest) DNS has the AD-integrated zone "ads", with an
sub-entry for "wrk". We also have a primary zone called "company.com"
- created because we need to access our external website, and this
zone holds records with the internal address of our external
webservers. Oddly, this primary zone seems to have a sub-zone called
"ads", which looks to be a complete replica of our AD-integrated "ads"
zone, complete with "wrk" zone entry.

We have no idea why it's there, or how it got there; it's probably
been in place before any of us started here. I'm wondering if the DNS
is confused, and is looking for a resource record in the sub-zone of
wrk under this ads under the primary zone.

It's confusing, I know. :-)

Me, I'd love to just delete the whole "ads" zone under the primary
zone "company.com", but I'm afraid of what might (will?) break when I
do that. dnslint comes up fine - no errors, warnings, nothing.

Anyone?
