That threw me - I thought that MS were saying the prefix had to be polite to
the suffix, else things wouldn't work!! : )

It should.
It really SHOULD (must) have 2 or more labels.
FYI: Spanish 'etiqueta' translates as two unrelated
English words:
etiquette (politeness, manners, customs)
label - tag, sign (on an article)

Then you may and probably should use a PRIVATE name
with at least two labels: domain.local, domain.private, but
not just domain.

Yes, but you will have many problems. Do NOT do that.
Single Label domain zone names are a problem, Google:
[ "SINGLE LABEL" domain names DNS 2000 | 2003 microsoft: ]
DNS for AD
1) Dynamic for the zone supporting AD
2) All internal DNS clients NIC\IP properties must specify SOLELY
that internal, dynamic DNS server (set.)
3) DCs and even DNS servers are DNS clients too -- see #2
4) If you have more than one Domain, every DNS server must
be able to resolve ALL domains (either directly or indirectly)
netdiag /fix
....or maybe:
dcdiag /fix
(Win2003 can do this from Support tools):
nltest /dsregdns /server
C-ServerNameGoesHere
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q260371/
Ensure that DNS zones/domains are fully replicated to all DNS
servers for that (internal) zone/domain.
Also useful may be running DCDiag on each DC, sending the
output to a text file, and searching for FAIL, ERROR, WARN.
