Forward only specific zones?

I have the need to forward requests for about 30 zones to
a specific set of DNS servers and the rest of the world to
a different set of servers; what's the easiest way to
accomplish this? Please don't say it's the GUI, that is
VERY tedious! Is there a command interface I can use?
Thanks,
Dan

Is this Win2k?
You cannot do it any way with Win2k.
Win2k3 supports conditional forwarders and stub zones.
 
As Kevin said, you cannot even do this with Win2000.

Conditional forwarding requires Win2003 and even
then you will likely need the GUI.

DNSCmd.exe (the command line tool for Windows DNS)
doesn't seem to fully support setting fowards, especially
conditional forwarding.

I used to think that, too ..... until I saw this on one of the lists I
participate in.

Dnscmd.exe <Server Name to create forwarder on> /zoneadd <Zone To
Conditionally Forward> /dsforwarder <Primary IP to forward to> /slave
<additional IPs to forward to> /DP <Directory Partition to store forwarder
in>

Guess that's what I get for reading the help on
DNSCmd.
