To clarify, the _msdcs.forestroot is the zone that contains records for
every DC in the forest regardless of the DCs domain membership.
There should be only one _msdcs.xxxxx zone, and it would be for the forest
root domain only, and should exist on all Win2k3 DC/DNS servers in the
forest, by default.
Any Win2k DNS servers may have a secondary copy of this zone, because the
partition this zone resides within Active Directory, does not replicate to
Win2k DCs, if you set the zone to replicate to Win2k DCs, then it won't
replicate to DCs in other domains in the forest.
