I can add that visitors to my BIND8NT site in my sig who run 8.2.2p5 
port for NT4 report good success with it on W2K.

Including suffering from the "multiple A record" bug and benefitting 
from its patch also on my site.

I cannot report on W2K DNS requiring to be master, but when it is, 
I've seen NT BIND 8.2.2p5 slave to it just fine (ie, notify worked 
and zone transfers, too).
