Windows 2003 Server Small Business Setup

[milfordboy]

I am just setting up Windows Server 2003 Small Business.

I've done one before but it has totally gone out of my head.

I am creating a ***.local domain. After I have promoted the server to a domain contoller I remember setting up some forwarders in DNS and deleting the "." zone.....

Can anyone give me any guidance on where the "." zone is and the forwarder?? Much appreciated.
