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

Is the Zone Transfer a push or pull. The reason I ask is because I only
want one domain to pull from the other and not vice versa. If it is a
push it will not work for me.

There is no "push/pull",...WINS has the push/pull,...not DNS

The involved DC/DNS's simply need to be allowed by the security restrictions
between the two networks to query each other.

Your suggestions did give me an idea about creating a new zone on the my
DNS servers for the other domain and set the name servers for that domain
to their DNS servers, however it still appears that I have to manually
enter the host records in. This is OK because I only need access to a few
servers for now, but I would rather have it working the way I had hoped
for future servers and resource access.

Get the Zone Transfers working,...which is very easy to do and is not a
"security risk". It does not give anyone "access" to anything,...it just
makes the DNS Naming work properly. When the transfers work there is
nothing to "manually" create other than the empty Zone that you would have
already done when setting up the ZTs.

If you were trying to manually maintain a Zone then you might as well use
Hosts Files and forget it.
