Okay, MS DNS worked right away out of the box. I'd say it's money well
spent. Good luck with BIND. ;)

"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.
