    All,

    I currently have one production forest that holds several production subdomains.  I'm in the process of building a 'development' forest and subdomains that will mimic production, however, I have some questions regarding DNS namespaces (prefix/suffixes).

    For example:

    Production Forest/Domains

    - root.companyabc.org (forest root domain)
        - regionNE.companyabc.org
        - regionSW.companyabc.org

    Development Forest/Domains

    - dev-root.companyabc.org (forest root domain)
        - dev-regionNE.companyabc.org
        - dev-regionSW.companyabc.org

    My questions are:

    1. Is it permissible to use the same 'companyabc.org' suffix in both my Production and Development forests?
    2. For the Development Forest can I just append the "dev-" prefix to the root and  subdomain names?

    Thank you,

    "T"

    1. Yes, just make sure that root and dev-root isn't going to be used by someone lese (e.g externally)
    2. Yes, make sure that the NETBIOS name of the domains are diffrent as well (15 char limit)
