Hi,

Here is the scenario:
2 domains, A and B - A has AD-Integ DNS, B does not - both are in
different forests across a WAN link - people in B need resolution for
names in A - intent is to keep the traffic on the WAN link to a
minimal level
Which option will work OR is best suited from a traffic perspective:
- Create a stub-zone in B for A's domain
- Conditional forwarding is setup in B for A
- Zone transfer between A and B (do not know if this is an option
between AD-I and non AD-I DNS domains)
- Any other option?

Any help is appreciated.

You can do any of the ones you stated. Yes, zone transfers, if you allow
them, are possible between AD integrated zones. Keep in mind, AD integrated
zones are zones weith the zone data stored in the AD database and not a text
file. They still act like primary zones.

I myself like to use conditional forwarding in this scenario, especially if
there is some question of trust, etc, but you can use whatever you like to
make this work depending on your requirements. Others will say they like
strawberry, chocolate or vanilla, depending on their needs or requirements.
