We backed up on the DNS issue. When first deployed,
it was DNS with DC - always. We have since done exhaustive studies that
show that the traffic on the ATM was not worth the added headaches in a 30+
remote site (Branch office - with some office locations exceeding 1000 seats) of
DNS everywhere at least, in our experience.
In fact, our DNS has evolved to the point that our
corporate DNS is BIND 9.x and our AD is on Win2k (soon to be Win2k3). We
have less problems now with DNS (and AD as a whole) than we EVER did when it was
spread out over three continents.

no reason to separate DNS from AD, except in extreme circumstances. AD and DNS
are both core infrastructure, so there's no reason not to colocate them. It
works well for both our 500 user company and the 4500 user company prior to
that.
My
DC/DNS servers here are running on 800MHz boxes with half a gig of RAM, and we
do quite heavy DNS traffic (lots of Unix systems in house) and never have load
issues on the DC's.
