DNS DOT ZONE ERROR

Hi All,
I installed new 2003 + SP2 that is DC (GC) and start DNS on it. I have other DC (GC + all FSMO) that is 2003 +SP1 + DNS. The zone is AD integrated. On my firsd DC DNS is OK. On second that I installed (that with SP2) i saw this repeating error:
"DNS server encountered error 9002 attempting to load zone . from Active Directory"

I found this KB Q294328 but for 2000 server. Should i use this method to solve this error.
All 2 DNS servers work and resolve names but this error appear CONTINUOUSLY.
Any help?

First question is do you really need a . (root) zone. It is normally only required for isolsated networks and/or where a proxy server is being used for internet access.

My internal zone is someting like mydomain.com. I use ISA 2004 as DG and internal DNSs resolve for internet clients trough ISA. Have no idea wath is this "." zone that could not be loaded. I tryed to clear DNS server cash but doesnt help.

The . (root) zone is effectivly a stop marker, if you are using ISA as a proxy then that's fine.

Sorry But I dont know wath to do. I saw warning that this zone couldnt be loaded only of one of my 2 DNS servers. This with SP2 that i install last Should i leave ths warning or i should recreat AD integrated DNS as Microsoft describe for 2000 Server or just use dnscmd to set "." zone to load from registry not from AD. My DNS are not published from ISA to Internet.

Ihad this issue with a test environment I was running. I uninstalled DNS from the server that wasn't loading the DNS records and reinstalled. Worked like a charm.
