make name resolution possible between 2 separate domains

Hello, I'm going to setup 2 AD 2003 domains each in its own subnet.
Each domain will be in its own forest so the 2 domains are not related what
soever.
DomainA.loc = 192.168.1.x/24 DC1 (DNS/DHCP)
DomainB.loc = 192.168.2.x/24 DC1 (DNS)

Some of the machines on 192.168.1.x/24 will actully belong to DomainB.loc
and will get dhcp from DomainA.loc's DC1 so it'll be pointing to
DomainA.loc's DC/DNS server.
So I need DOmainA.loc's DC1 (DNS/DHCP) to be able to resolve hosts on
DomainB.loc's domain.

Do I use conditional forwarder for this?
So enter in the conditional forwarder on DomainA.loc's DC/DNS for the domain
DOmainB.loc = IP of the DomainB.loc's DC/DNS.
Would this work? And if I need this vice versa, I'd do the same on the
other domain?

Hello gira,

You can use conditional forwarders or stub zones on each domain. Is the same
as preparing 2 forest/domains for a trust.
