Hello all. I hope someone will be able to shed some light on this question
of mine.

We have a parent domain and 5 child domains all connected with private
leased lines. In your opinion would it be better to have 2 DNS servers at
the parent domain doing DNS for all clients and servers or would you use
2003 server DNS and do conditional forwarding for each domain back to the
DC's for each domain?

It would work either way but I was curious if you know of any pros or cons
on either.

Thank you VERY much!!!

Each child site should have its own DNS server, forwarding to the parent
DNS. All of the child names should be delegated in the parent zone to its
respective DNS server.
Do not forward from the parent to the child.
