BIND on NT - stability?

This might cause a flame eruption among those here who belive in
UNIX-like systems - and to my defense I might say that I use just that
on all my servers today, internal and external. So, on to my question.

It seems rather likely that I will set up a NT box for another purpose
fairly soon (server software which is - yuck - only available on NT),
and I was thinking about running secondary DNS on that one using BIND
8.2.4-NT2 (or whatever is current when that day comes) as I am
currently rather comfortable with BIND on UNIX. Does anyone have any
experience with the reliability of such a setup? I can't quite make up
my mind whether to run NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 on it - I feel more at
home in NT 4, but they say Win2000 is more stable (that's by a VERY
narrow mark in my experience, if at all). I have both of them, and the
right to use them.

There isn't much that can be done if Windows crashes with a BSOD
except rebooting the box (this can be done automagically), but how
good is BIND's reliability on NT? Does anyone here run it in a
production environment?

Any feedback, experiences or suggestions on such a setup are greatly
appreciated.
