Re: 2 Sites with 1 Domain

I would also set site 2 to only use the local DNS server (ie no
alternate DNS setting). Then set up each DNS server to be a secondary for
the other. Then each DNS server will be able to resolve DNS requests for
either site (because it will have a copy of the "other" site's DNS records).
