I've seen conflicting information on this online, but say you have an environment with two domain controllers: one Forest, one Site, one Domain; simple as it gets.

How should each domain controller's NIC be configured with respect to DNS?

  1. Assuming both are running DNS Server, should DC1 should have it's own canonical IP address (i.e. not loopback address) as the primary DNS and the secondary should be DC2? Rinse and repeat for DC2. Seems logical to me.

  2. Does this have any impact on replication?

  3. I'm assuming forwarders/root hints are irrelevant with respect to Active Directory?
