First, what is FRD?
Second, choose a proper DNS hierarchal name for the parent zone, such as
global.com, global.local, global.greenman, etc. Otherwise, you are prone to
a host of errors due to the single lable name.
Third, if you have child domains, the best way with Windows 2000 is to use
delegation. In the parent global.com zone, on fr1.global.com, you would
delegate the child name "mycompany" to the DNS server(s) that host the child
zone in the child domain, such as on DC1 in mycompany.global.com. Then you
set a forwarder from dc1.mycompany.global.com to fr1.global.com. Then set a
forwarder from fr1.global.com to your ISP's DNS servers. Don't forget to
create a reverse zone in fr1.global.com for the subnet that fr1.global.com
exists in. Then you can create a secondary of that zone on
dc1.mycompany.global.com.
The delegation will send queries from a client in theparent to the child's
DNS. The forwarder will send info from a querying client in the child to the
parent for the parent zone.
Here's some more info on delegation:
