Hey John,
I'm running SimpleDNS by JH Software (www.jhsoft.com). Took all of about 20
minutes or so to configure. Very easy to setup domains and can handle
whatever you need it to do. In fact, it seemed too easy and too good to be
true. I've been running (2) Windows 2000 DNS servers since the end of July
without issue at all.
The only complaint I have is that there is no phone number to call for
technical support, however they've replied to my emails within about a half
hour.
They even offer a free 14-day evaluation copy so you can try before you buy.
Worth a look.
