dns secondary zone etc.

hi all,

i have a small question regarding DNS configuration. Let's say we have a remote site A and remote site B connected via a slow WAN. In site A we have a server running both DC and DNS role (no AD integrated zones). We do also have a DNS server at site B. A secondary zone has been configured at site B to replicate sites A primary zone. So at site B we only have a read-only copy of the zone/ database.  We have say 10 clients located in site B. What we would like to make sure, that those clients will not go over the WAN to resolve names, so i guess the DNS Server IP configuration on the NIC should be pointing to the IP Address of the DNS Server located in site B for all 10 clients. Is this correct ? What will have if let's say we change an IP Address of one of the clients located in site B. will it contact the local DNS Server (in site B) and (because it's a read only copy) forward it to it's master  in site A? Is my way of thinking correct ? 

Also, are secondary zones along with zone transfers recommended in such scenarios or should we go for stub zones ?

thanks 

Adam
