W2K does not want to cooperate

People,

We are in the process of testing W2K, as part of that we have set up a
quarantined TLD, to isolate this noise from the rest of the core business
products and processes.

However no mater what we do, our unix BIND and the NT do not seem to want to
communicate. I have attached the notes below. We are using a mixture of BIND
4.9-7... and Bind 8. The problems have been on BIND 8 so far, we are about
to do some regression testing on BIND 4.

Has anyone had any success with this?

Our domains for example will be:

det.lab		NT Universe
det.nsw.edu.au	Our universe.

Do not try to query these from outside, they are firewalled, with split DNS,
and you won't see anything unless you are within the state education and
training department.

Please respond directly to me and I will summarise.

Regards,

Guy
