Under Win2K Server, the choices aren't exactly elegant, but
they are available:

With Win2K3 Server, you have a group policy to configure
this directly:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=294785
Win2K clients don't understand this policy though,
so you would need to use the first option if you have a mix.
You might be tempted to change the primary suffix on all
workstations to the child domain and let the "resolve
parent suffixes.." feature of DNS resolution handle the
problem. Don't.
