Our Unix boxes currently use DNS and WINS on NT.
I don't foresee changing after migration to W2K.

All in all I think that you'll be a lot better off.
I even had the U*IX bigots suggest using some DHCP server that was hosted on
U*IX! We shot that down in a hurry.

Thanks that is what I was hoping to here, I will push the W2K DNS route.

Technically it'll work, but there's a lot of integration of services that
you won't be able to do properly. Win2K DHCP will register you in Win2K
DDNS and WINS if properly configured, I don't believe that it can be
configured to update DNS on a U*IX variant of BIND. You must have the
current version of BIND, I think 8.2.4 is the minimum. U*IX systems should
be just fine using win2K DNS, they don't try to use any of the "Special
Microsoft features", they just do straight DNS Name resolution. To a U*IX
box your Win2K DNS is just fine, to a Win2K box a U*IX based DNS is
standards compliant, but lacks integration with other features, DHCP and
WINS.

Subject: DNS Question (W2K, UNIX)
Hi
Is there any problem or snags, if I keep my DNS server in my network
on a UNIX server (Solaris) or is there any problem with UNIX (Solaris,
LINUX) using a windows 2k DNS server ? I would like to convert to W2K but
can't due to political reasons..unless I can prove that the UNIX servers and
workstations in the network will not have a problem with a W2K DNS server.
Note my manager is an ex-SUN employee.
