Server placement

Hey everyone, I have a question and I need help with some best practices here.

 

So I've configured Active Directory, and I've been trying to understand DNS more. When you have a server running AD/DC for user accounts, do you want it to be within the same domain as your main network or would you want it to be completely segmented from all the other networks? For example, this server manages two networks, network A which is coming from one port of the firewall and network B off of another port of a firewall then you have network C which is the AC/DC. Is this how you'd want this?

 

Or would you want a AD/DC for each network segment? How would you go about doing this?

 

Also, is there a way to setup a client to connect to the AC/DC without having to point the DNS towards the server?

For example:

 

Server

Address: 192.168.0.50

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS: 75.75.75.75

 

Client:

Address: 192.168.1.70

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.1.1

DNS: 192.168.0.50

 

Also, how does DNS work when Active Directory is involved?
