DNS Configuration To Support Multi-Domain AD

Our AD deployment is most likey to be several DNS domains from a common
parent (root) domain.

For example
glb.tru.com, forest root
int.glb.tru.com, sub domain
ger.glb.tru.com, sub domain
 
Replicating DNS across the forest doesn't stop you from needing multiple DNS
suffixes.

However, a DNS server at the local location will reduce WAN-based DNS
queries. If you can afford the additional replication (it's not going to be
much of a hit) this is probably a good idea.

Remember, you can now use GPO to configure DNS Suffixes, so use this and
configure the order differently in each domain. If this is a single-domain
environment, then link the GPO to the sites in question, and have a read of
the following article regarding a dis-joint namespace:
