I have a major problem. I have rebuilt a dc of a parent
domain at the root of a forest. I have created the
necessary forward lookup zones, and all name server
records and a records are present. The best bit is that
dns successfully creates reverse lookup records for all
the machines, but does not create any records in any of
the forward lookup zones. Any ideas? The trust
relationship between the parent and child domain doesnt
verify, which is a second problem i am working on.

Couple of things to look at, but wasnt' sure when you say it doesn't create
any records in any of the forwards if you meant just standard client A
records or dc SRV records in the "_" folders or both.
Since you rebuilt the zones, be sure that they are set to allow dynamic
updates, and whether or not the child domains were earlier delegated dns for
their domains prior to the rebuild of dns in the parent.

Is the Forward Lookup zone AD-integrated? If not, it will not be
automagically populated on the new DC.

Is the zone using secure updates?
If it is, the machine or machine group must have create delete child objects
in the zone's ACL.
