NS Record

Suppose I have two domains

Domain A (NT) Domain B (2000)

I have some intranet servers on Domain A that won't get resolved via
public DNS. If I add an NS record for Domain A then will that allow
name resolution to for those intranet servers.

Example: Client in Domain B queries
domainA_IntranetServers.DomainA.com. Will the NS record on Domain B's
DNS server send queries to that name server?

What I'm probably going to do is to create a secondary zone in domain
B that will hold Domain A's records but this NS idea was something
that some co-workers were throwing around.

I know you can use NS records to delegate authority to a sub domain
but can it be used for name resolution to another domain without going
through the normal query process (local cache, preferred DNS server,
….)

Thanks
Mike

That would be like a stub zone, which Win2k3 does and Win2k does not
support.
So, no it won't work, you will have to use a secondary.
