Thanks for the reply.
Im going to remove the entries and see if they reappear
before trying the wins replication again.
Once this is done is it work getting both domains DNS
replcating to each other via secondary Zones and
transfers, I belive that this will probably create alot
of not really needed traffic.
I may even just stick static Wins entries pointing to
each others servers and manually added DNS host entries.
Im not sure if the bosses will want full interdomain
browsing. they will probably just want drive mappings to
the servers across the vpn which is fine with the above
static entries and a trust relationship set up between
the domains .
