a nice example about dns islanding.

and with only 2 dc's 
setup the resolv.confs like : 

DC01
Primary DNS   10.1.1.2
Secondary DNS 127.0.0.1

DC02
Primary DNS   10.1.1.1
Secondary DNS 127.0.0.1

says:  
If the loopback IP address is the first entry in the list of DNS servers,
 Active Directory might be unable to find its replication partners. 
but this is manly MS DNS based, since there was a bug in the MS DNS server, concerning islanding..
