In my opinion there's no need to duplicate the domain objects to be able to seperate them from your persistance layer. It works duplicate code in hand and it's perfectly doable by using those same objects as DTO's. If necessary you can always use seperate classes if it's needed, but I wouldn't make it a rule of thumb, it 'll cost you time and we all know time is valuable.
