I don't have experience with this, but I have done a little reading, since I
wanted to test Microsoft's "interoperability" (because Win2K/AD uses TCP/IP,
DNS LDAP, and Kerberos -- each Microsoft's proprietary implementation, of
course).
Suffice it to say that there are 2 fundamental issues that would scare me
away from attempting it (for production purposes, not from learning it):
1) The Win2K DNS implementation and BIND can talk, but you can't use Active
Directory integrated DNS zones (the easiest), and it takes some configuring.
- That is worth learning, just for fun. :-D
2) Keeping your AD info on your router would be a scary security practice,
unless you've got Win2K, AD, BIND, router, host, and network security all
sewn up. :-D
- This may not be a concern for you, but no compromise is a good
compromise. :-D
If you do dive into this, Shawn, please let me know, I'd love to track along
with you.
Curtis.

Subject: RE: (clug-talk) Dynamic DNS help?
A thought just hit me. If I were to configure my W2K box to use my BIND DNS
(on my router) for it's AD stuff, wouldn't it follow that the W2K box would
update Superreal properly via Bind? I don't know if this is possible, and
won't bother to pursue the Win config issues here (We are afterall aiming
for Linux), but it would seem this might be feasible. If the scripts I
found earlier don't do the trick, I'll maybe look at this.
Thanks for any insight.
Shawn
