We have a Windows 2000 Domain, Active Directory and AD integrated DNS.
Central Site and a remote site. Both sites have Domain controllers (2) which
are also DNS servers. PDC emulator is one of the DCs at the central site.

DNS resoltion seems to be performed by the correct servers but when we ping
our domain name the IP address of either of the DCs at our remote site is
returned. We would have expected to get the IP Address of the PDC emulator
(which is local to us). IS this correct - shoudl the domain name resolve as
the PDC emulator ?
