We use both. BIND is running at our perimeter and
handling the stub zones and forwarding to Internal / External when the question
cannot be answered. Forwarding is conditional - which, if I had had Win2k3
at that time - I might have used it instead.
Anything that registers a Windows or AD record is pointed
to a Windows 2000 DNS. All workstations and servers are primaryed and
secondaryed to a Windows DNS. They forward to the BIND servers for
questions that they cannot answer.
So, IMHO - we're using the proper DNS for the proper OS in
our environment. This given that our environment is 80% Windows systems
(2k, 2k3, NT) with the other 20% being Unix/Linux, Mac,
Tandem.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Bind or Microsoft DNS
Hi, we are planning the upgrade from NT to Win2k 2003. Currently we use Unix DNS, the question is should I keep it just make sure it supports NDR records or replace it with Microsoft DNS.
Any pros and cons?
Thanks,
Juan
