DHCP--Infoblox???

In the past we were using a DHCP server that was a member server. Recently,
we switched to an appliance called InfoBlox that replaced the member DHCP
server. Do I need to authorize this as a DHCP server in AD? We are having
DNS issue currently and I don't know if it's related to the DHCP switch. One
of our child domains has all the records expected, but the other has about
600 out of an expected 4000. It's like the records disappeared. Also, the
same child domain can't auto-register a computer name in its DNS. If anyone
has ideas, please let me know. Thanks in advance for the help.

Go back to using MS's DHCP and disable the DHCP in infoblox. MS's DHCP does
play a role in registering Clients in DNS.

All machines should use the DCs in their own domain. They do not need to
include the DNS from other domains or the master domain because DNS
replication already covers that. The ISP's DNS should be listed in the
Forwarders List of the AD/DNSs and no where else. The firewall device must
allow the AD/DNSs to make outbound queries to the DNS listed in the
Forwarders List.
