I said "U may" not "U must". At least I run DNS for revzones of my subnets.

Sorrey Crist, but there is no need to connect 2nd router to 1st. If U have to
have 2nd subnet just insert 2nd NIC into 1st router and as I sad above
configure ur subnets (with appropriate routes on router off cause &
defaulterouter on hosts on subnets :).

Is this true if 1strouter knows that a route to 2ndsubnet is throught 2ndrouter
which is
on same subnet as 1strouter?
