Creating DNS zones for Parent - Child Domains
Here is the situation. I have a root domain (purely for administration) and 2 child domains( one in Greece & US) each with multiple sites. The root domain & child domain reside in same site.
Within the US Child domain, I have 2 sites (atlanta & NYC), I want the DC in those locations to host DNS for their clients and have all internet traffic generated to be directed to the local ISP
How is DNS set up in the Parent domain to reflect this and also how is it setup in the child domain to be site specific?

"How would the zones in the parent domain and the child domain?" Sorry, I don't understand what you mean... its like saying "how would the dog in the house?"

You could make the domain zones part of the Application partition so they replicate to all servers in the Forest, sure. Most of the time there is no need for domains (internally) to resolve anything in the other domains except the servers so why make the local DNS server authoritative for the zone? This is why I stated it the way I did, with Conditional Forwarding.
It's not as much about the parent knowing the child as it is about the child knowing about the parent.

Oh I agree completely. We just switched from using Forwarders for our domain to replicating the root domain to the entire forest... nice and neat :)
