Hi Brian,

You really need to review and understand this article:

255248 HOW TO: Create a Child Domain in Active Directory and Delegate the
DNS Namespace to the Child Domain
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;255248

Please see my in-line comments in CAPS...

REVIEW THE FIRST LINK I SENT YOU, AND PARTICULARLY PAY ATTENTION TO CREATING
THE DELEGATION.  THIS IS THE ROOT OF YOUR ISSUE.
WHERE ARE THE DNS SERVERS FOR THE CHILD DOMAINS?  OR, WHY ARE THE DNS
SERVERS FOR THE CHILD DOMAINS ON THE MAIN DOMAIN?
ALSO CHECK THE REVERSE LOOKUP ZONES.  YOU NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE REVERSE
LOOKUP ZONE THAT MANAGES THE 10.0.1.0 AND 10.0.2.0 SUBNETS ON THE DNS
SERVERS IN THE MAIN DOMAIN.  THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE NSLOOKUP TO RESOLVE
BY IP ADDRESS.
ACTUALLY THOUGH, IF YOU'RE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY OTHER ISSUES USING YOUR
NETWORK, IT'S SIMPLY NOT WORTH BOTHERING TO CHASE THE REVERSE LOOKUP ZONE
ISSUE.  YOU CAN PROBABLY IGNORE IT FOR NOW.  IT'S NOT WORTH FIXING JUST FOR
NSLOOKUP....

YOUR ZONES ARE AD INTEGRATED, SO WHEN YOU RE-INSTALL DNS, IT WILL PROPAGATE
THE ZONES TO THE 'NEW' SERVER AGAIN.  THIS IS CORRECT BEHAVIOR.
