That's not surprising.  Even if the W2K Client succeeds in registering it's
addresses in the DNS, it will reregister them every 24 hours, according to one
MS document I read.  You're better off making them think that they succeeded
except that legitimate applications like nsupdate need the correct response.
If it fails the update it will retry after 5 minutes, then 10 minutes and 
retries
the sequence after anothe 50 minutes.
