what I have now is the following
Production network:
W2K with AD and 100 users. on a 192.168.1.0 subnet.

Lab network:
W3K Ras server joined to production network for routing
nic #1 192.168.1.241
nic #2 10.100.0.1
lab network on 10.100.0.0 subnet

lab xp WS 10.100.0.2
lab W3K server 10.100.0.3

I want to create a AD forest in the lab network for testing. It will
need it's own DNS, which I will setup. do I need to tell my lab dns to
forward requests to my production network dns to get to the internet?
now I am using my external dns server and have route statements on my
firewall to handle the 10.100.0.0 requests.
 
If your Lab DNS server know how to reach the internet AND you want it to do
so, there is no need to forward. I use forwarding for DNS servers that can
not get out to the internet on their own, or that I want to prevent from
chasing down records on their own.
