SRV records in BIND?

[Paul Vixie]

SRV RR's are supported by BIND.

Microsoft's TSIG-GSS UPDATE method of inserting SRV RR's is not publically
documented and has not been implemented outside of Win2K.

Microsoft's LDAP-ADS zone transfer method of supporting "multiple masters"
is not publically documented and has not been implemented outside of Win2K.

Microsoft calls this their "embrace and extend" strategy.
