If the first DC has AD integrated zones, all you need to do is install DNS,
the AD integrated zones will replicate without further action from you.

Use Outlook Express?... Get OE_Quotefix:

kevin,
thank you for your answer; my dns is ad-integrated. so after installing a
second dns i should of course let my clients know, which is the secondary
dns (via dhcp-options). or will they learn by themself ?

thank you
tom

make the other server also a DC and make sure the current DNS zone is
AD-integrated zone. Configure other servers and clients to point to
both servers. one being preferred and the other being alternate. Make
the seond DC also a GC
