DNS in NT4 and Linux BIND 8.2.2p5

[Danny Mayer]

	The NT 4 DNS is known to be unreliable and is not recommended for use.
  Microsoft doesn't support it either.  You either need to upgrade to
  Windows 2000 and use its DNS Server or use the BIND 8.2.3-T6B version
  that I just made through Len Conrad's site:
http://bind8nt.meiway.com/

	Don't use the 8.2.2-P5 version on NT.  It has problems.
