Is there anything about win2k's use of dynmaic updates that
makes using a win2k primary and a BIND 8 slave Rude and/or Evil?

Is it reasonable to suspect that win2k's DNS use includes
plenty o' dynamic updates that are for "internal" use only?
Assuming this is so, should using BIND 8 as a slave of a win2k
DNS server be considered A Bad Thing?

The current consensis 'round these parts is to require our
win2k sites to run a lame server.  Oh, the joy.
