I have a network 192.168.1.x with its own DNS servers which are setup with
forwarders to the ISP's DNS servers for non MYDOMAIN addresses. We have
just installed a line to a 172.100.100.x network which also has its own DNS
servers which are setup with forwarders to their ISP's DNS server for non
THEIRDOMAIN addresses.

We can ping and tracert back and forth fine, but we need to resolve each
other's DNS names without creating any sort of trusts. We also still want
to forward our Internet name servers resolutions to our individual ISPs.

Your options are:

1. Do Zone Transfers so that each Domain has a copy of the other Domain's
DNS Zone

2. Use conditional forwarders. They work like regular Forwarders but are
only used when a certain Domain Name is involved.
