No problem with this at all. &nbsp;There isn't any need for additional DNS servers.

No problem with this at all.  There isn't any need for additional DNS servers.

<div>
i.e.<br />
<br />
2x DNS/DC servers in Primary Domain. &nbsp;Make both DCs Global Catalogs as well.<br />
1x DC server in Secondary Domain<br />
<br />
Note that it would still be worth having a second DC in the child domain, as otherwise it lacks redundancy.<br />

Can the ip's for my Primary and secondary domains be in the same range.?<br />
So you mean that the primary and secoundary domain can just have 1 DNS server<br />
