Or he can put a forwarder zone on his two DNS servers. If your two DNS
are running BIND, add the following to your named.conf:

zone "samdom.example.com" {
        type forward;
        forwarders { 10.99.0.1; 10.99.0.2; };
};


The only important thing is, that the clients use a DNS server, that is
able to resolve the AD DNS zone(s). If they resolve the zone directly
via the AD DNS or by asking a different host, doesn't matter, if this
one forwards.
