I need some enlightenment. Can someone explain when to use a stub zone in Microsoft Windows 2003 DNS vs. conditioal forwarding?
We have LOTS of zones defined on a domain controller in our production forest and a comperable set of zones defined on a domain controller in our test forest where we specify domain.com for production and domain.tst for the comperable test domain. When we were Windows 2000 we created secondary zones on the production DC for all the .TST zones and secondary zones on our test DC for alll the .COM zones. Now that we are Windows 2003 we can now do conditional forwarding and create stub zones instead of creating secondary copies and I can't seem to determine what the difference is between the two. Can someone help clear this up?
