The problem I see is with dynamic updates to the reverse zone.
If, for example, the reverse zone 192.168.5.x contains machines with
static IP addresses and Win2k machines with dynamic addresses, then
unless you do some careful splitting of this zone, you will have to
open the entire zone to DDNS.  It has been suggested in this forum that
static zones and dynamic zones be separated.
