Two W2K Domains, with trust need to resolve each other

[Ian]

I have to seperate W2K networks with a two way trust
between them. I have created secondary zones on each of
the DNS servers to point to the other domain. And it
works but the problem is I have to use the fQDN to
resolve the other domains hosts.
For example, ping host1 would not work if it were in the
other domain, I would have to use ping host1.company1.net
Any suggestions how how to fix this.
Many thanks!
Ian

What you need to do is add domainA to the DNS suffix list on domainB
clients. then do the same thing the other way round for the other domain.
You can do this through GPO, by using a computer startup script as mentioned
here:

One thing to note, though, is the fact that IF you have identical hostnames
in both domain, then your ping may not always show the intended host.
