Okay, MS DNS worked right away out of the box. I'd say it's money well spent. Good luck with BIND. ;) R -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of richard van beers Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 11:52 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: configuring BIND for use as DNS with Win2k3 Terminal Server? "Why not use Microsoft" Thats a dangerous question to ask a FSF member. Il try not to rant :) Two answers: - BIND has worked just about always, and is our company main DNS. We also host. Expose Win2k3 to the world? Erm, I'd rather not. Next you know it there is a administrator priv exploit on MS DNS. BIND in our case does not run on Windows, but on Linux. Ditching BIND is no option, so now Im stuck running an extra unnessicary DNS service n the DC. - I'm a member of FSF. Why PAY for a non free product (And YES, part of YOUR money on those expensive CAL's goes to the DNS development), when there is perfectly good industry standard gratis and FREE. Am I running into yet another case of Microsft using market dominace to expand monopolies in another area? Thanks for the tip thou. Il have to investigate further, and leave the MS DNS running for now. We continue to be practical. But it rather pisses me off, I just waisted two days troubleshooting the weirdest things. And solved it by using MS DNS. In my test setup, I did not HAVE this problem, so one wonders what I did wrong this time. Seems perticulary related to the dynamic update thingie.
