	I've seen no problems with BIND taking dynamic updates
	from Win2k boxes (if those are the kind of updates you are
	referring to.)  WRT the above, I think it's a shame
	that the authors of BIND have to relax it's conformance
	to the specs to solve what is essentially someone elses
	broken implementation.
