Small point- dcpromo creates those zones as mentioned in the original

stub zones, as subdomains, etc.) will depend on that preconfiguration. If
you're not building the forest root domain, the subdomain already exists and
dcpromo is just populating it.
I bring this up only because there are many companies that have existing DNS
infrastructures and it's important to know that "default" is not equivalent
to "mandatory". It is not a requirement that the _msdcs zone be either a
separate zone or a subdomain in an existing zone, whether it's a stub or a
full zone, etc.
Of course, since we're talking SBS, all of this goes out the window (no pun
intended). SBS is its own freaky little animal.

Usually dcpromo creates all these zones. Windows creates
these zones in a forest partition. If you have a linux DNS
server just create another slave zone of _msdcs.example.com.
The gray one is only the delegation.

Ok, so basically _msdcs is just a separate zone. Do Windows
DNS setups usually do this? I'm using SBS.
I have a bind DNS server running on a linux machine with a
slave zone for example.com. The AXFR doesn't have those
records (aside from the NS record). So what you're saying is
that I need to setup another slave zone for the _msdcs subdomain?

I'm not sure I understand. In DNS admin I see two zones. One for
_msdcs.example.com with all the usual _msdcs records and one for
example.com which incedentally has an NS record for
_msdcs.example.com. The little folder thingy for this
_msdcs is grey
which I guess signifies that it's some kind of link to the
other zone?
So I understand why the _msdcs records other than the one NS record
are not transferring but I don't understand why the
structure is split
into two zones and if I can/should do something about it.

Does anyone know why the _msdcs records are not returned
in an AXFR
DNS query? This means that slave zones will not have
those records
and that software querying for a domain controller may
not find one.
