NT4 DNS Server as Secondary?

[Dennis Leiterman]

I am using a NT 4 box as a secondary.  The bind version is something like
4.9.x which does not support notify or dynamic updates like Win 2000.
If you want to force a zone transfer, I think all you have to do is stop
and start the dns service, it should check the serial number when started.
If that doesn't work for you, the way of deleting the zone file located in
%systemroot%\system32\dns will do it.
