AD Integrated Zone Transfers

[NAN]

I have 2 AD integrated DNS servers. I know that ad
replicates on a per-property basis, propagating only
relevant changes rather than the full or incremental zone
transfers. So why when I look at the zone properties,
does it have the option to do zone tranfers (under the
zone transfer tab)? Should I have this enabled if they
are AD integrated?????
THanks.
(win2k servers)

This only applies to other standard secondary zones that wish to receive a
zone transfer from this server. It is not related to AD integrated zones.
You only need to have this enabled if you've configured other DNS's to host
standard secondary zones that pull from this server.

J.C. is correct. Here's another weird thing (useless but weird):

Even a NON-DNS DC will have the entire zone -- it won't be
good for anything unless you configure the DNS server there;
and even then it won't do anything unless you configure the zone;
and even then it won't do any good unless you also mark the
zone as AD integrated.

AD replicates the records whether you need them, or use them,
or not.

Win2003 DCs offer better control of this replication.
