Sites under the ForestDnsZones and DomainDnsZones application containers? Do
you mean domains? ForestDnsZones should show all domains, however the
DomainDnsZones should only show what domains it's configured with zones that
are DomainDnsZones integrated.

As Jorge asked, do you have "Sites" configured with a respective IP subnet
object that is associated with their respective Sites?

For Site domain controller information and services they offer, do not look
in the application containers but rather in the SRV records. They are the
ones with the underscores in them: _msdcs, _sites, _tcp, and _udp. Look
under the _sites folder for services running port 389 (LDAP or the domain
controllers themselves, and 3268 GCs (Global Catalogs).

Under the _msdcs folder you will see a "gc" folder. That will indicate all
of your GCs in the forest. Is there a GC for each Site?

As long as Sites are configured properly with their respecitive IP subnet
object, and the querying client's IP matches one of them, and there's a GC
in the Site, it will use the services in that site. If not, or
misconfigured, it will use a random lookup.

If I misunderstood, can you be more specific as to *exactly* what you are
seeing under which folder in DNS and possibly any errors in the Event logs
of the DCs and of the clients? Also, let use know what DNS servers the
clients are using.
