The problem is the subnet already exists in both domains... -Brian

Hw do you solve this? Do you manually put in PTR records for all the servers in the opposite domain? Example: Server1.corp.local is at 10.1.1.10 Server2.division.local is at 10.1.1.20 Client1.corp.local is at 10.100.100.100 with DNS server pointed to DNSserver.corp.local Client2.division.local is at 10.200.200.200 with DNS server pointed to DNSserver.division.local nslookup from client1 for 10.1.1.10 returns Server1 nslookup from client1 for 10.1.1.20 returns non-existent domain nslookup from Client2 for 10.1.1.10 returns non-existent domain nslookup from Client2 for 10.1.1.20 returns Server2 nslookup by name (forward lookup) works everywhere.
