One last W2K / Active Directory / BIND question

Hi,

We are running W2K with the internal top domain DNS on Bind 8.2.4 in static
mode with delegation for all _w2k subdomains to W2K DNS servers that run in
AD integrated mode. I think this is what approx. is descibed in the BIND
book (as well as in some MS whitepapers on the subject ;-). Works like a
charm although we do see the occasional event in our DC's log:
----
	System Log
	Event Id 5774
	Source Netlogon

	Registration of the DNS record 'company.com. 600 IN A 10.10.10.10'
failed with the following error: 
	DNS server unable to interpret format.  
----
I couldn't find any event ID 5782 in my logs though.

Well, appearantly W2K operations is not hindered by not being able to
register the domain A record. It just complains and goes on with the rest of
its business. 

We can live with these event in our Logs but if you can't....

Cheers,

Berend
