I have setup a second Windows 2000 domain controller and am thinking of
making it a DNS server as well. I have about 80 workstations and now 2
Windows 2000 Domain Controllers on a LAN. Does it matter how I setup the
second DNS server? Thanks in advance.

If the zones are AD Integrated on the first DC all you need to do is install
DNS on the second DC the zones and zone data will be replicated.
Keep the DCs pointing to the first DC for DNS in the Preferred position you
can add the Second DC as Alternate DNS on both.
