A DNS Active Directory zone is replicated to ALL domain controllers regardless of whether DNS is installed on them - it is part of normal replication. HOWEVER, in order for a server to answer DNS queries, the DNS service must be installed on the server.

So the short answer to your question is no , you will not have to setup DNS on the other DC for DNS to be replicated.----- Samantha Hyatt wrote: -----

     DNS Can't be Active Directory Integrated without there being 2 servers. So, to answer your question..... you need to set up 2 AD Integrated DNS Zones on separate servers in order for them to replicate to each other.

       If you want to replicate the DNS records then you,
       obviously, need at least two DNS servers to transfer the
       data between. A DNS server can't, and won't even attempt
       to, replicate data to itself even if it is AD integrated.
