As an aside (as I would try to push the W2K DNS route as well), we are using
an integrated (W2K/U*IX) DNS solution. (I'm not the DNS expert, so the
detail here is going to be vague...)
The U*IX DNS is our root DNS, with the W2K DNS (for the same namespace) set
up as a forwarder, to the U*IX DNS. We are using W2K DNS for all sub
domains, but (for political reasons, as well as one minor functionality
reason), we have to maintain the U*IX DNS at the root.
It works very well, but it was a royal pain in the @$$ to set up. If
necessary, I can get into a little more detail, as to why/how...
FWIW, I believe there is going to be a profile on it in the Sept or Oct
issue of W2K Magazine.

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.
