Hi,
  I'm not sure I understand "Therefore you
won't need to take care of changes of the DCs, but keep
in mind that you'll have to update the records in the
root zone manually (mainly A-records and additional
delegations)." Since those zones are controlled via the
2K3 servers doesn't that mean all of the changes are
being made there? And my original question pertains to
being able to do anything with AD integrated zones. Is
there any benefit to going that route? Or is it even
possible?
Thanks,
Dan
