UNIX v Win2k

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

We run our Linux/BIND nameservers on pieces of old kit (133MHz-200MHz
PCs) rescued from the skip; and they run like a dream and do not
thrash. In that sense we began hosting our own DNS for nothing except
the outlay in time.

Obviously this might not be applicable to your circumstances, but if
you want to justify a 1st time set-up to the suits Linux/BIND I
suspect will work out a great deal cheaper.

Just my 2c worth.

Guys,
Has anyone had experience off migrating from UNIX BIND 8 to Windows
2000 for DNS
use.
I am mostly looking for dis-advantages of this method, there a
million and one
sites on the web proclaiming the greatness of Microsoft products but
not all
that many who actually tell you the truth of what it is bad at and
what falls
over frequently.

Cheers.
