I need to set up a DNS server with reverse lookup and to associate with the DHCP service. DNS and DHCP are on the same server.
My network is being split into a NT and Unix network. The primary DNS service is on the Unix network and the secondary will be on NT.
How can I accomplish this scenario and have both networks work as one?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

I do something similar but without DHCP. I use my older solaris server as the dns master. It has entries for all my unix/nt and other systems. We have no problem with NT clients or servers using the dns. If you want to use the NT server as a secondary server be sure to add it to the list of servers on the master so that it gets updated. Set it up as a secondary server and name your unix dns server as the source of the domain maps. If the networks have different network addresses you need to make sure there is a route between them.

Also just add the address of the DNS servers in your DHCP's scopes so that the clients receive the proper addresses. If you need more detailed explanations, let me know
