My take is that you two are talking about the same general topic. Dean is stating that yes you can delegate but this does not automagically move the RRs from one server to another (or from the parent zone to the child). The process of splitting an existing zone into two (parent/child) is a manual process. Of course you could use the information in the parent zone before the delegation to initially populate your new delegated zone using a modified zone file, DNSCMD, or something else.

That makes no sense. I'm on sp4 now and running ad intergrated dns and ALL zones are delegated to their respective child dns servers. I've been running like this for 2 + years with no issues. Resoultion works, no rep errors. I can ping any host in the forest by fqdn. What's the delegation feature for then? Is it only for standard dns servers? I find that hard to believe. I'm not in the office but I'll send up my root zone record when I get back for you to see. I'm seriously thinking we are talking about 2 totally different things here(and if so, I apologize). Its rare for me to be right on this list. Esp. as compares to you, Dean.
