There are 5 different types: Primary, Secondary, Stub, Active Directory integrated, and reverse look up. See the following link for info on the different zones.

Dns zone is actual file which contains all the records for a specific domain. i)Forward Lookup Zones :- This zone is responsible to resolve host name to ip. ii)Reverse Lookup Zones :- This zone is responsible to resolve ip to host name. iii)Stub Zone :- Stubzone is read only copy of primary zone.but it contains only 3 records viz the SOA for the primary zone, NS record and a Host (A) record.

Bad grammar, but if I understand correctly, a DNS Zone record is just a record that matches each Zone to an IP so it knows where to go when you type in the address in the browser or whatever you're using. Or points to mail servers. And other zones like that.

One can get more information on a Comcast DNS server from the following sources: What's My DNS, Comcast, DNS Knowledge, ZDNet, DSL Reports, Port Forward, Open DNS, Mac Medics, to name a few.
One looking to resolve their DNS issues should enable reverse look-ups on their DNS server. Next, one should check for duplicate records on their DNS server. Finally, one should compare the records on their DNS server and make the necessary changes.
The appreciable difference of Open DNS is not in performance over other DNS. The advantage of Open DNS over other DNS products is the added features of typo correction and fishing philter, and how unintrusively those features operate.
I believe 3 types of dns 1)Primary and 2)secondary and stub zones .
Primary zone, Secondary, Stub, Forward
Often, DNS servers that are authoritative, or primary, for specific zones also function as slave, or secondary, DNS servers for other nearby zones. This permits hosts in one zone to gain access to DNS data from those other zones.

a. All AD DS-integrated DNS zone records are stored in the Active Directory database. b. AD DS-integrated DNS uses the multimaster replication process of AD.

To set up DNS for a child domain, create a delegation record on the parent DNS server for the child DNS server. Create a secondary zone on the child DNS server that transfers the parent zone from the parent DNS server. Note Windows Server 2003 has additional types of zones, such as Stub Zones and forest-level integrated Active Directory zones, that may be a better fit for your environment. Set the child domain controller to point to itself first. As soon as an additional domain controller is available, set the child domain controller to point to this domain controller in the child domain as its secondary.

The main zone types used in Windows Server 2003 DNS environments are primary zones and Active Directory-integrated zones. Both primary zones and secondary zones are standard DNS zones that use zone files. The main difference between primary zones and secondary zones is that primary zones can be updated. Secondary zones contain read-only copies of zone data.An Active Directory-integrated zone can be defined as an improved version of a primary DNS zone because it can use multi-master replication and the security features of Active Directory. The zone data of Active Directory-integrated zones are stored in Active Directory.Active Directory-integrated zones are authoritative primary zones.A few advantages that Active Directory-integrated zone implementations have over standard primary zone implementations are:Active Directory replication is faster, which means that the time needed to transfer zone data between zones is far less.The Active Directory replication topology is used for Active Directory replication, and for Active Directory-integrated zone replication. There is no longer a need for DNS replication when DNS and Active Directory are integrated.Active Directory-integrated zones can enjoy the security features of Active Directory.The need to manage your Active Directory domains and DNS namespaces as separate entities is eliminated. This in turn reduces administrative overhead.When DNS and Active Directory are integrated; the Active Directory-integrated zones are replicated, and stored on any new domain controllers automatically. Synchronization takes place automatically when new domain controllers are deployed
