The more elegant way is to save your configuration on the NT machine
into zone files: Open the DNS manager on the NT machine, right click
the DNS server and choose "Update server data files". You'll find the
files under \winnt\system32\dns. These files can be used as zone files
under BIND 4.9.x and 8.x.x.

Good luck,
