BIND 8 and Windows 2000 DNS

[Danny Mayer]

	I've had some experience with this kind of thing.  Active Directory is in
essential
  a modified version of an LDAP server (I've jokingly been calling it a
heavyweight
  LDAP), the a lot of data being added and removed from Active Directory
dynamically.
  LDAP was designed to have very few writes, but lots of reads.

	Unless you need WINS, why even bother with the Microsoft's DNS?
