> I'll check out bind.

If you're only running a few zones (< 50 or so) then the Windows binaries
that ISC has available for the current versions (9.2.1, etc) should work
fine for you.

Microsoft's DNS server was very nasty in WindowsNT, but the one they've
included in Win2k is actually pretty solid, and MUCH easier to configure
than BIND unless you have experience working with zone files directly.

Pointing a wildcarded entry at IIS is fine, and will work great if your
parser is written well.  The secret is dedicating an IP address to the site
entry that will handle the requests.  To get IIS to pick up requests for
your wildcard hosts, you have to have at least one entry in the address
configuration with a blank host-header field.  Unfortunately IIS doesn't
support a regular expression type thing in the host-header field that would
make this easier on a shared IP.
