Just to add, if these domains are separate trees, DNS would need info for
each namespace on the same DNS server or with the use of forwarding. Since
you mention domain.net is the root, the _msdcs.domain.net folder would have
the info for the root that domain.com MUST have reference to.

Also, I am assuming that we all know that we cannot use an ISP's or any
other outside DNS server that does not host the AD zone namespaces or that
doesn';t have some sort of reference to get to it or numerous issues will
occur, such as what you're experiencing, to say the least. But I am of
course assuming you already know this and there are no outsiders in your
inside network.
