    Two main ways in Win2000:

        1) create a zone for the PARENT, and properly delegate
            the child zones, arrange for the DNS servers to find OR
            hold the parent -- this is standard DNS methodology

        2) Have each DNS server hold "cross secondaries" for the
            other needed sibling, or even unrelated zones

    #2 works fine for small numbers or (fairly) small zones but
    is tedious with many zones and can cause uneeded replication
    for large zones.

    Win2003 introduces two new DNS Server features which
    address the issue: Stub Zones and Conditional Forwarding
