DNS server on DC

Hi
We have a single domain with 2 DC with AD, I have installed DNS on both servers and not sure on some of the config settings.
I have configured a zone transfer on the main DC but should I do the same config on the second DC with DNS.
I have configured forwarder on both DNS to our service provider's DNS and have active directory intergrated zone.
Should I have both DNS configured to do secure dynamic updates or both secure and nonsecure dynamic updates.

if you use AD intergrated zones you dont need zone transfers.

So I don't need to config the zone transfer tab if I have done the active directory intergrated..

That is correct. In fact, for security reason you do NOT want to allow zone transfers. The AD integrated zone happen with AD replication, not with zone transfers. Leave the box for Allow Zone Transfers unchecked. Replication will take care of it.
