Isaac answered your first question. It is a bit like the DNS snap in. You have
to add the name space you want to look at.
As to storage in AD, AD has the names of the root name servers but the name
space itself is held on the DFS name servers not in AD.
The client ask the DC for the list of name servers. It then queries the name
server for the link target. Of course the DC may be the name server as well.
