win2k & bind 8.2.2_p5 (AAAROCKS or ADMROCKS)

I have been trying to get a win2k server to be a secondary / slave to a Linux (cobalt raq3i ) machine with bind 8.2.2_p5 however no
joy so far.

In my /etc/named directory I have a directory AAAROCKS which is empty, not put there by me, a tad disconcerting to say the very
least.

I think the bind version was upgraded with OS upgrade after the said directory was introduced to this particular machine.

So should I worry about the AAAROCKS seeing as the OS & possibly bind have been upgraded or given that I now use 8.2.2_p5 is there
nowt to worry about. ??!!?***

Is this AAAROCKS a variant of ADMROCKS ?

How does one check the named-xfer is working ?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree ?

Maybe the win2k dns is incompatible with bind 8.2.2_p5 ?

I have noticed a few others seem to be ... battling ,  with the same issue, may be they've been attacked by the bind hack.

Hopefully someone can put a finger on the problem ?
