Set up an extra DNS server

[bnsmhe]

I want to setup an extra dns server on my sbs2003 domain. Where do I start? Is this possible?

DNS in SBS is AD integrated, IIRC. To keep it that way, you'd have to add another Domain Controller running DNS.

Sorry for the lack of info from my side.
We now use 1 sbs with dns AD integrated. We have another member server (used for Terminal services) which we want to use as a second DNS server. I tried to configure the dns on this server but I could not choose AD integrated (probably because it's not a DC).

That's correct. You would need to promote that server to a DC in order to use AD integrated DNS.

I cannot install any other type of dns server to work with the AD integrated DNS?

No. AD integrated runs on DCs only.
