I've dug a little bit more on the RODC set up. I've tried using BIND with DLZ and without as well as the internal DNS server.
In both cases, I get an error when the RODC tries to register itself to gc._ msdcs.test.com. Under DLZ, it fails for a non-secure transaction: Jul 26 15:11:39 dc named[3341]: samba_dlz: disallowing update of signer=RODC\$\@TEST.COM name=gc._msdcs.test.com type=A error=insufficient access rights When using the internal DNS server, it fails with the following output: [2013/07/26 18:39:56, 0] ../source4/rpc_server/netlogon/dcerpc_netlogon.c:2574(netr_dnsupdate_RODC_callback) ../source4/rpc_server/netlogon/dcerpc_netlogon.c:2574: IRPC callback failed NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT Also forced on the clients to use the Try Next Closes Site, but it gives an error. What is the behavior of an RODC? It should have a copy of the AD without the passwords, and also it has a copy of the DNS records? Does it act like a proxy between one subnet and the main DC? Should a new DNS entry be added to advertise the RODC as an available KDC/AD?
