DNS Problems with new DC

I have a domain with an existing DC and DNS Server.

All works fine with DNS resolution.

I have introduced a new Windows Server 2008 DC which will act as among other things a DNS Server.

This Server belongs to another domain (this is part of a global integration) but clients will not migrate for time being.

When a client with the new DC set as DNS on his nic pings the FQDN of a remote host it gets a response. It times out when he just pings the name.

When he has the old DNS Server set on the nic it works fine.

I have added the old DNS server as a conditional forwarder.

I have also changed Group policy on one client to allow DNS Suffix appending without success.

Must I change something on the 'old' DNS Server?

Thanks
 
Got a solution by adding in the domain names to the advanced adapter properties and then rolling it out to all clients through Group Policy
