DNS in active directory mode?

[Owen]

I am going to set up DNS for our company. We are a small
group with a Windows 2000 Domain with one domain server
at the admin site. We have an admin site and a few remote
sites. Some of the remote sites are not part of the
domain. I was wondering if:
Should I set up DNS in Active Directory mode?
If so, will users outside the domain be able to use this
DNS setup?
Also, if the server replicates to secondary zones, do
they have to be part of the Domain?

Regards,

You can allow xfrs to secondaries regardless of how the primary is setup
(i.e. std primary or AD)
If your only using one server, it probably does not matter much if you use
std primary or ad. Keeping as std primary gives the advantage of updating
the master file using notepad. If you have another dc, I would probably
move to ad-integrated.
