I have a small domain with two 2003 serverr DCs. I was told you should
always setup DNS on each DC. When I add the DNS role to the DC using the add
role wizard, it asks me if I want the server to host a zone. If thee other
DC is already hosting the same zone, how do I proceed? I tell the server to
host the same zone the other DC is hosting. I enter the same zone info as on
the first DC. Basically, I set up oth servers identically. Is this correct?

If the first DC is using Active Directory integrated zones, it is really
just as simple as installing DNS on the second DC. That is it, the AD
integrated zones will replicate to the second DC without any further action
from you.
