Prepare to be disappointed. From what I gather, there is no way for
Win2K to make strongly-authenticated Dynamic Updates to BIND, and
without proper authentication, not only is there the obvious security
risk, but there's really nothing to stop the Win2K boxes from stomping
on each other's records (since the server can't really tell one client
from another). Of course, Microsoft has this problem "solved", as long
as you use *their* servers for DNS instead of BIND. Yippee.
