That is what I ended up doing and all is good.
Though there should be a way for an AD integrated zone to be a mirror or
copy of another AD Integrated zone.
We have several domain names with various spellings (we have a & in the
company name) and I want all of our Domain names to have the same records in
them. Now if we make a change to the zone I need to make it on all 4
domains.
Thanks,
Scott<-
