There is a known incompatibility between 2003 DNS and BIND in certain recursive situations in zones with large-numbers of records that "may" be improperly configured. The typical test-case is "bestbuy.com". It is configured in such a way that BIND regards as legal, Windows 2000 DNS regards as legal, but Windows 2003 does not regard as legal -- and strictly speaking, per RFC, it may not be legal. So, if you are using root-hints on a Windows 2003 server, you may not be able to resolve bestbuy.com. If you forward to tinydns or BIND, you'll get a response from them. There is a long thread on this in the Microsoft newsgroups between a DNS MVP and a Microsoft guy. You can hunt it down at groups.google.com, if you want. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerod Powell Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 4:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] OT: DNS Servers * This is the modus mailing list * Do any of you have any experience setting up a Windows 2003 DNS Server as an ISP based solution?
