What do you have in the TCP/IP properties on the DC?  You should
point that machine to your BIND servers for DNS, as the BIND servers
have (or should have) all of the required information.

Why should your W2k DNS Server be any different than the clients with
respect to nameserver configuration?  If your W2k DNS Server has only
the four "_" zones, then it would have to ask your BIND servers for
information about other zones.  So have the "_" zones slaved on your
BIND servers, and have the W2k DNS Server always query the BIND servers.

Zone transfers will also use TCP, as a zone is too large to fit into a
512-byte UDP packet (in almost all cases).

I am running with my W2k DNS Server configured to use my BIND servers
for DNS resolutions.
