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.

... oh, and stub zones can also be AD-integrated which increases the value of the native load-balancing no end.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
