> All these limitations of Win DNS are why BIND 9.3.2 is a better DNS product.

BIND is great for Unix, but isn't ready for Windows yet. If faced with the choice, I would choose Microsoft DNS over BIND (in reality, my choice is paying for a good DNS program).

A year or so ago, I tried the then-current release versions of BIND 4, BIND 8, and BIND 9 for Windows, and all 3 were too buggy to be used. IIRC, BIND 4 would not resolve reverse DNS entries in a timely fashion, BIND 8 would hang every several times a day (and not be usable until restarted), and BIND 9 would after a few hours start using 100% of the CPU time.

Again, BIND for Unix works flawlessly as far as I know, but the Windows port just doesn't cut it.
