The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Remember:
IBM i DNS is BIND.
Windows DNS is not BIND.
That should help you with some of your thinking and pretty much any
other blogs Wikis etc about BIND will apply to IBM i.
That said you have a couple choices, easy and hard(er). If you simply
set a domain such as 'domain1.corp.' on IBM i to forward all queries to
AD then you have made step one. IBM i is answering but only as a 'proxy'.
Then if you set it up as secondary it will query AD and remember those
queries so it can reply from cache. (Faster)
The final step is to enable notifications. Thus when the IP address for
FQDN server2.domain1.corp. is changed in AD then AD will notify BIND
outside the normal timeout that there has been a change. Without this
BIND will continue to report the old IP address until the cache timeout
expires and it finally requeries AD. I have not tried this so I don't
know if it's possible with AD to BIND. In a BIND BIND world this is
easy (Directive 'Alsonotify')

I am thinking of starting an IBM i based DNS server on one of our hosting
lpars.
I would like it to sync up with our existing Windows based DNS servers.
Anyone do this with a wiki, blog, etc?
