Chris, On each server, go into the properties for the zone that is primary on that server, and set the IP address of the other DNS server as "Allowed to make Zone Transfers" Then just create a "secondary" zone on each server for the zone you want to mirror over, and specify the original server as the master. (Boy does that look confusing) Example: Server A hosts AD integrated zone for Domain A Server B hosts AD integrated zone for Domain B In the properties for the Domain A zone on Server A, add Server B as an allow IP address for Zone Transfers In the properties for the Domain B zone on Server B, add Server A as an allow IP address for Zone Transfers On Server A, create a new Secondary zone called "Domain B" with Server B as the originating IP address On Server B, create a new Secondary zone called "Domain A" with Server A as the originating IP address Voila!

I want to set it up so that I can resolve DNS names on both networks from either end. Each network has their own Active Directory Integrated zone. (in seperate forests) I'm not sure even where to start, can I buy a vowel?
