But I don't want BIND as a proxy. )

TTL or expires must be lowered at microsoft DNS?

Answers are from cache.

Interesting solution, but this software is not for windows. For now I 
replace software for needed services from Microsoft to opensource on the 
same microsoft server. When I'll move every service (samba, AD, file

For now I just use Microsoft DNS on the same server. Until I will find a 
way for my BIND problem, or learn to use AD with BIND.
