2 domain controllers... where should they each look for primary and
secondary dns servers?

example, should the first DC look at itself for dns, with no
secondary? snd the second dc look at the 1st dc for primary dns and
itself for secondary?

what is best practice here?

Heres another point of view - we had an MS engineer a year ago to do
an ADRAP and one of the recomendation was to point all the DC's to the
same DNS server to help troubleshoot/pinpoint DNS issues should they
crop up.
