Hope someone has an easier way to do this...

I want to add a FQDN host name to windows 2000 dns. When I add the
name to my zone, it concatenates the zone name to the FQDN name.
Example...

server1.domain1.domain2.com is the name I want to add to zone
domain3.com. When I do a nslookup I get
server1.domain1.domain2.com.domain3.com.

I cannot create a second zone domain1.com because the rest of the
sites that users connect to are avilable on the internet and have to
be resolved. If I create that zone and there is no entry in it for
the internet sites, then ther server doesn't return a result.

This is an unusal situation that involves us having to add static
entries that are not resolvable on the internet but other sites are
with the same domain name.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Of course, that is the way it is supposed to work.

Create a new zone, named 'server1.domain1.com' then in that zone create a
new host, leave the name field blank and give it the IP you want
server1.domain1.com to resolve to.
 
server1.domain1.domain2.com is the name I want to add to zone domain3.com.

One cannot add data to a "zone" that aren't for a domain name within that "zone".

When I do a nslookup I get server1.domain1.domain2.com.domain3.com.

That's the search path in the nslookup DNS Client at work, and nothing to do with your DNS server.

This is an unusal situation [...]

No, it isn't.  That's why the answer is frequently given.
