I found this one to be quite helpful as well as it mentions working with Unix-based DNS servers like the University does.  It cleared up most of my issues with machines losing connections to the DCs.

It's funny that you ask that, as we just gave the hostmaster our SRV

records over here at business

 

You give them the netlogon.dns file from your DNS server(s).

The file is located at %systemroot%\system32\config\netlogon.dns

 

I believe the article you are looking for is this.

Subject: [MSUNAG] MS DNS on Win2003 server

 

Does anyone have a good cheat sheet (or link to web resource) on

configuring Microsoft DNS to work with campus DNS?

 

My Win2000 server is dying, so I'm migrating it to 2003R2. The old

server has DNS installed, but it has never been quite right.  Would like

to get it right this time, unless there is some way to totally avoid MS

DNS.

 

Does anyone run their AD servers in 35.15.x.y address space, to

eliminate traffic from outside of the building?  (we've been behind a

firewall blocking all MS-Net traffic for several years and really like

the protection that provides from windows malware)

 

thanks
