Could Microsoft be considering an acquisition of Borland as well as Rational Software? Borland itself recently bought TogetherSoft SA, a design and modeling specialist, and such a deal would give Microsoft access to those resources. IBM recently proposed an acquisition for Rational, but Microsoft may be preparing a counter bid.

ASK PAUL HINSBERG
Setting up an internal DNS server
Dear Paul:
I have three Windows 2000 workgroup servers that will be in the domain. I am going to convert to Active Directory and need to set up DNS. The fourth server is a Web server (has DNS installed) that sits off the DMZ (de-militarized zone) and is named CompanyName.net. When I set up the internal DNS and Active Directory, should I use the same domain name with server name "ServerName.CompanyName.net," or should I create another domain for the internal network? Is there anything special to watch out for in DCPROMO? I am assuming that I need to have DNS set up first, then run DCPROMO.
