Changing to AD Integrated DNS
I have a four DC's running DNS in a Primary/Secondary configuration. I'm planning on migrating to an Active Directory Integrated configuration as follows:
1. Change the primary server first. Stop/Restart DNS Service
2. Change the secondary servers. Stop/Restart DNS.
Will it really be this easy? Or am I going about this all wrong. I've read the MS articles...and they don't really get into migrating secondary DNS servers. I appreciate any/all advice!
Regards!

Thanks you both for the answers.
JConchie - While your response was informative, I felt that the second answer did provide me with "Experts Exchange" type information that could potentially be useful in my DNS plans. I apologize if you disagree.
Additionally, I posted this same question to another newsgroup and was advised exactly how to facilitate the change so that I was sure that AD replication worked.
1. On Primary DNS Server, change zone to AD Integrated. Ensure that the secondary name server is listed on the Name Servers Tab of the Zone Properties.
2. On Secondary Server, delete the zone file.
Replication will occur within a few minutes.
