I think that will create a problem, since a DNS server is authorative for a zone it will not forward/lookup records wich is not defined there. So if you define server1, you will comunicate with taht server. But if they add servers/clients without letting you know you will not be able to look that server up. You will have to set up a zone transfer.

Both are internal domain that sit at the same level and they trust each other. I want to know in DNS what I need to do to let it be known that if you ping computer.xyz.com it will ping it internally. I was thinking about creating a forward lookup zone called xyz.com and adding the subnet into the reverse lookup zone. What do you think?
