No, I do not currently have AD integration for my enterprise.



Ok, no Active Directory installed anywhere.



yes, it will be a "network" child domain...like I said forward lookups
work great with this implementation....I only want CERTAIN devices
that I have configured to point to this DNS server to be able to
resolve objects in this network subdomain.

I guess you will have to manually set their ip configs.


My main problem is just getting reverse lookups to work. I see two
ways to do this.

Define whole RFC1918 network as one reverse zone, but then all reverse
queries to this server that do not have PTR records are NOT forwarded!

Why not just pick one of the DNS servers to be authorative for the whole
zone, create the reverse zone, then just create a secondary on the other one
pointing back to this one? Or will that go against your design?


Or set up classless networks of "network device only" ip space, so
this "network device only" dns server will respond to reverse queries
in these spaces and forward the rest...but this seems very difficult
to do...I cant figure out the classless thing.

Classless or not, it's still a reverse zone.

I would like to do that last suggestion, but the problem is, I do not
have access to our company's main DNS servers... =(

Otherwise i'd just create a reverse zone there and like you said make a
secondary server for my equipment.
