DNS Domain Delegation.......

I'm faced with a problem I'm hoping to get some help on.
The client that I am at, is currently in the process of deploying Windows
2000 AD, we use QIP to manage the entire DNS environment, except for the
Windows 2000 AD. All client are registered in QIP and point to QIP DNS
server for named resolution. The Window 2000 AD DC's register in the W2K DNS
servers and we delegate to those DNS servers from QIP.

Example, "foo.com" exists in QIP, but "wins.foo.com" and "exchange.foo.com"
and "abc.foo.com" exist in the W2K DNS servers. In the db.foo.com zone file
we have delegated to the W2K DNS servers.

This is ok, but now the W2K team wants a new top level domain to accommodate
their AD root domain, for the Global Catalog. The new domain they setup in
W2K is "adroot.com", and they want us to Delegate to "adroot.com". Other
than setting up a delegation at the ".com" domain or making our QIP DNS
server secondaries for the W2K DNS server I'm not sure if there is another
option.  I'm looking into Stubs, etc.

Any Ideas, or help would be great!!!


Thanks,.....Robert C. England
