Split DNS - Internal W2K and External BIND

The classic DNS AXFR/IXFR replication model requires you to make all changes
to a given zone on the master server.

You are certainly free to put a Win2K AD server in your DMZ so that you can
have "multi-master" functionality, but from a security standpoint, I wouldn't
recommend it.
