What do you see in the dns.log file on the w2003 box, assuming that you
have enabled all logging?  What do you see when you run a sniffer on
your BIND box?

Also, there was a posting on Mar 24 (check the archives of this list)
entitled "BIND master/MSDNS slave incompatability" where the poster
entitled "BIND master/MSDNS slave incompatability" where the poster
talks about a registry setting that needs to be set in order to
circumvent a stupid (in my opinion) incompatibility with the DNS
standards.

I do not run my W2003 box as a slave, so I have not encounted it.
And I have not had time to review my newly procured copy of
"DNS on Windows Server 2003" by Cricket Liu et alia.
