Suffix names being different wouldn't cause issues I assume?

That setup should be fine.. You want every machine to point to two
different DNS servers for redundancy.
The only thing I could see would be where if ABC had only one DNS server,
and then XYZ had a delegation record to make ABC's DNS authoritative for the
domain. Then, if ABC ever went down, the clients would look to XYZ, which
would simply refer them back to ABC, and they'd go nowhere (unless there was
a secondary zone on XYZ)...
Each of my domains has two DNS servers. The DC's point at each other as
their primary (to prevent the island), and then point to the parent. The
DNS servers are configured to forward to the parent. The root is configured
to point to the ISP. The root has delegation records in it for each of the
child domains, and the clients have one entry for each of the DNS servers in
their respective domain.
HTH,
Jeff

I hear constantly (mainly from Mark Minasi, as I read his articles
frequently), how if DNS isn't right, AD won't be right. So I have a question
for those of you who use 2K and know DNS pretty well.
We have a sister company who has their own 2K domain. This domain has a DNS
server for their devices. All of the servers point to the DNS server in
their domain, we'll call ABC. However they are physically on the same wire
with their parent, we'll call XYZ. The servers and the clients are also set
to point to a DNS server on XYZ. So if you ipconfig /all, you see the IP
address from a server on the ABC domain and a server from the XYZ domain.
Will this setup cause or not cause any issues?
