Just got to a new organisation and I need to verify that their DNS is set up properly.

New York is the main site. Texas and California and Washington are the other sites. Only Texas and New York have a domain controller and DNS server New York has a DNS server with a forward lookup zone of mydomain.com, and reverse lookup sones to the other subnets. Texas also has a forward lookup zone to mydomain.com.

The last time I set this up I set up each zone like NY.MYDOMAIN.COM, TX.MYDOMAIN.COM with forwarders from TX to NY. Is it ok to have the two forward lookup zones the same in two different locations, or should I delete and recreate new zones with different names?
