Yeno ;).

"our.tld" is registered. Though but there isn't a A record for "intra"
in public DNS. hosts.intra.our.tld will are only resolvable in our LAN.

My concern was if there are good reasons to make the new addc Domain
part of this internal local domain eg:

AD DC Domainname: addc.intra.our.tld

The actual AD DC will probably named something like:

chief.addc.intra.our.tld

or are there any good reasons to make a second parallel to the exsisting
intra domain, like:

addc.our.tld

Any pros or cons?

& Thanks for the links.
