Any other comments? I'm going to have to make a recommendation on this and am looking for as many opinions as possible. Has anyone made these changes or does anyone forsee any other issues?

You will have to change the registry entry below to "0" to disable the registration of ALL A records, this includes some important DNS entries that will need to be entered as static records (see below).

My AD zone, company.com, already has an "A" record with no host value pointing to 192.168.0.1. Specifically, it looks like this: (same as parent folder) Host (A) 192.168.0.1 It seems to me it would be very bad to change this, right? That would mean that any DNS request for "company.com" would resolve to my webserver. That would be good for the http requests, but horrible for everything else, like the clients and servers. Is there any way to honor that request?
