I may wait and begin on BIND 9 then. Seems too close to invest the time into
8.
The Win2K DNS is fine, I just like options<g>.

Yeah, NT4 is dead, and Win2000 is 30 millions new lines of code. I hear
internally, MS refers to W2K as NT5 still.

yeah, that's normal. BIND8 ported to NT will not run on W2K.

I'm told W2K's DNS servous is something fabulous. So it seems best to run
that DNS on W2K. Price is the same for BIND8 for NT4.

You are certainly welcome to try. ISC.org is not a hotbed of NT
programmers so they would welcome your contribution. BIND 8.2.3 is the
current source tree and you can get Release Candidite source code on
ftp.ISC.org.
ISC intends to port BIND9 to W2K but not to NT4. Even there they tell me
it's a question of NT programming resources and hardware the will run
W2K. BIND 9 is due for end of June for release.
