Thank you for the video - During the replication...does the DHCP and DNS databases are synced too?

[@MSFTWebCast]

For DNS yes, if you have AD integrated DNS zone. Standard zone wont replicate to other DC. For DHCP, the answer is No.

Hello, I have added a 2nd DC exactly as your config, repliaction is healthy, running repadmin /syncall shows exact same results as yours, I see all users and computers in the 2nd DC but as soon as I stop dc1, DC2 does not respond with clients that have dc2 configured as alternate DC. I do a test by disabling the NIC card on DC1, When I issue nslookup on a client it shows only the IP of DC1 but not DC2, also when I type any url in a client it cant reach dc1 so it cant reach the URL. What might be wrong here? Thanks in advance

Did your client computers are configured with both DNS servers addresses? I mean you have to configure preferred and alternate server address. Add both DC's IP address in DNS servers address on client, so if DC is fail then client can reach to DC2 for name resolution.
