Re: DNS registration for PDC only correct on some DNS servers?

If you want to query external name servers for public names, you normally name their IP addresses as forwarders in the DNS server's
properties dialog.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying about putting NS entries under forward lookup zones. In Server 2003 you can name "conditional
forwarders" for specific domains that are different than the global forwarders. You are certainly free to add public zones to your
own DNS - I don't think it will do what you might expect, but as long as these zone names don't conflict with your internal AD
domain it shouldn't cause any problem there.

Are you sure you're not naming other, outside-the-domain DNS servers in the server's own DNS IP configuration? That would be the
most obvious reason for the error you're seeing, and can open the door to significant network problems.
