I see, that gives me a clearer picture. If you want to install fresh,
meaning a whole new domain in a new forest, then no, the DNS data won't come
across since they are in different AD domins and would need to rely on zone
transfers. But keep in mind you'll need to migrate your users over using
ADMT.
If in the same domain and forest, I would suggest to promote the W2k3 server
into the current domain. But you have to run ADPrep first to prep the
current W2k database to be compatible with W2k3's AD database.
