Hmmm. Don't know if this is quite a direct answer for you, but this
article from MS on using the DNSlist utility may help you at least
verify that your AD has all it needs to replicate and communicate
between DC's based on the DNS setup.

Among other uses, it can help you troubleshoot Active Directory
replication issues. Specifically, it can help you determine two things:

    * Whether all DNS servers that are supposed to be authoritative for
the root of an Active Directory forest actually have the necessary DNS
records to successfully synchronize partition replicas among domain
controllers in an Active Directory forest. DNSLint identifies which DNS
records are missing from each authoritative DNS server.
    * Whether a particular Active Directory domain controller can
resolve all of the necessary DNS records to successfully synchronizing
partition replicas among domain controllers in an Active Directory
forest. DNSLint identifies which DNS records cannot be resolved by the
domain controller being tested.

Subject: [windows2000] AD DNS question

-New Windows 2003 Active Directory.
-BIND DNS Server with DHCP doing DDNS.
-AD does not have Windows DNS installed.

-Trying to find out if any AD specific functionality will be lost if the

"My Computer" properties (of both the workstations and DC's) DNS suffix 
does not match the Active Directory Domain Name?
