I have 3 domains (A, B, and C) in the same forest. My goal is to
configure AD Intergrate Zones and replicated all zones of three
Domains. I was able to configure DNS of the first domain in the forest
to replicate as across the Forest, but was not able to configure the
second and third domain to do the same. Another word in The Zone in A
(first) was replicate to B and C, but B and C can not replicate to A.
Thanks Paul
 
If your forest is indeed all W2k3 then what you are trying to do
is possible (as compared to W2k AD where it is not possible as
purely AD integrated DNS).
Since you are having all replicate everywhere, there is no real
advantage in having three zones, one each for each domain.
Of course, if your domains are not of form root.com, child1.root.com,
and either child2.root.com or grandchild.child1.root.com, but instead
you have a multitree forest, then separation of zones is required.
You could use the two predefined DNS application partitions and
enroll all of your DNS servers in both. If you do wish to have more
zones, you will need to define these as DNS application partitions
and enlist the DCs in them.
This is all rather straightforward (if your AD is W2k3). You should
find a start on the how-to of it all by reading beginning at

Make sure you check the replication scope in the properties of each domain
zone to see if it is configured to replicate to each dns server in the
forest assuming you are a Windows 2003 forest. Also keep in mind that you
can use condifitional forwarding and stub zones to help manage your dns name
resolution for Windows 2003 domains. --- Steve
