I could do with some help regarding DNS!

It creates the zone but no zone data from the remote domain's DNS
server gets entered. How do i get this to work?

On the primary zones, you need to allow zone transfers to the IP
addresses
of the servers with the secondaries.

The current zones that have been created both forward and reverse
are AD integrated will this be a problem?

Not if the ADI zones are actual replicas replicated through AD (Available on
Win2k3 DNS servers in a single Forest, or Win2k DCs in the same domain)

Win2k does not support cross domain replication, and therefore must use
Secondary zones for other domains. IF you try to create ADI zones for other
Domains on a Win2k DNS, it has no relationship with ADI zones in other
Domains and will not get updated. You need to use secondary zones on Win2k
to resolve other AD Domains.



I take it "allow zone
transfers" is an option under the properties of the forward and
reverse lookup zones?

Yes, on the Zone Transfers tab.



I have looked into "Conditional forwarding" it looks like that would
be the solution to all my problems - if only we had 2003 on all
servers. I will use this where i can.

Yes, Conditional forwarding comes in handy for resolving external domains
using a particular DNS server.





We have a proxy server at head office so all internet requests from
users must go through this first. Currently all remote office
domains are configured to forward all unknown requests to HQ DNS
servers then these forward to the proxy server.

Not true for proxy servers, when a browser or an application is configured
to use a proxy, that application, actually gets the name resolve by the
proxy server, and completely bypasses the DNS Client configuration. The only
sites that are resolved by the local DNS Client, are the names configured to
bypass the proxy. If a client needs DNS only for web browsing, and that
client uses a Proxy server, it does not need DNS servers in TCP/IP
properties.
Of course Active Directory is not Proxy-abled, so the client needs DNS
servers for AD, but not for web browsing.
