Kevin, thanks for the help.

Regarding (#1) names servers listed on the Name Servers tab...if a
zone has
a "domain-wide" replication scope to DNS servers is it correct to say
that only the DNS servers in the same domain would have a copy of the
zone and hence be listed in the Name Servers tab?

Domain wide replication means the zone is stored in the DomainDNSZones
partition, and replicated to all DNS server in the domain. It has nothing to
do with what is on the name servers tab.
Windows Server 2003 has three default replication partitions MicrosoftDNS,
DomainDNSZones, and ForestDNSZones.


Also, is it the case that if I look on local DNS servers at a stub
zone for
a remote domain that one should see only the name servers (on the
name server tab) that are the name servers listed as (NS) in the stub
zone (the name servers in the remote domain)?

On stub zone the servers listed on the Name servers tab are the remote name
servers that have the full zone.


Regarding stubs...once the stub zone is in place that is enough to
direct
DNS queries for host.domainB.local say from domainA (with a stub for
domainB) to domainB, no forwarder needed, correct?

Correct, no forwarders needed to the domain named in the stub, nor any name
under the domain i.e. domainb.local includes host.sub.domainb.local.
