Exactly what is your configuration?  Do you have one zone

     w2k.example.com

that contains the four "_" sub-domains

     _msdcs.w2k.example.com
     _sites.w2k.example.com
     _tcp.w2k.example.com
     _udp.w2k.example.com

within it?  Or do you have five separate zones?  Also, why do you
have the DCs update the zones on the BIND server?  Look at postings
in the archives of this list (and of its sister list bind9-users);
I have posted my setup where I have the four "_" zones on a W2k DNS
Server (to take advantage of secure DDNS updates), and I have my BIND
servers as slaves for the "_" zones.
