So are you telling me that T5B is broken with regard to Win2k interaction?

Is there a version with good basic interaction with Win2k (working notify,
master-slave zone transfers, all the things that appear to be broken with
Win2k now?).

Looking at the CHANGES document in 8.2.3-T6B (which is the most current
version in the FreeBSD source tree), I don't see any particular references
to Win2k problems either existing or being resolved.

I guess I'm kind of stuck with the BIND that comes with FreeBSD.  It's
something of a hassle to override "built in" packages on FreeBSD, especially
if you try to track STABLE.

Maybe it'll get imported into STABLE soon.  I can live with the interaction
problems if I know what they are.  Right now what's bothering me is I don't
know if they're all my problems or if there are genuine interaction
problems.
