Configure DNS in a Trust Relationship
We have two forests (DomainA.com and DomainB.com). How do we configure DNS on DomainA and DomainB? Would it be a secondary zone, stub zone or a forwarder?

If you have 2003 then you can just configure forwarders to the DNS zone. If you have 2000 then you'll need to configure a secondary zone.
Example:
DomainA - has Windows 2003 DNS
DomainB - has Windows 2000 DNS
In this situation you need to setup a forwarder on the 2003 machine in DomainA to forward requests for DomainB's domain name to DomainB. In DomainB you'll need to set up a secondary zone for DomainA with one of DomainA's DNS servers as the primary.
