differences between platforms?

[Jeff Lightner]

You mean besides the fact that 90% of the attacks in the world are on
Windoze machines? :p

I can't really imagine wanting to run anything on Windoze over *NIX
unless I absolutely had to (e.g. vendor software requirement).

Subject: differences between platforms?

Hi All: I've been running BIND for a number of years on linux and
freebsd 
platforms.

I recently had a freebsd server drive die, and just for fun, I installed

9.4.1 on a Windows 2003 R2 server and switched NS traffic over to it.
Both 
servers were NAT/PAT'd behind a firewall. I followed the basic ARM docs
in 
configuring the Windows server.

The transition wasn't particularly difficult (surprise!), and I pretty
much 
replicated my named.conf over and everything is working.

Are there any real-world issues or gotchas that I need to be aware of
with 
the Windows version of 9.4.1? Or any particular security issues I need
to be 
aware between the two platforms?

TIA, AK
