I'd probably need to reboot to my servers to verify this but according
to my notes I did this.

set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\
        RegisterDnsARecords  to 0

set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
        DisableReverseAddressRegistrations  to 0

I get updates for the SRV records but none for the A and PTR records. If
I do
get these updates they happen under the cover of darkness when the
lights
are off and ethereal isn't watching.
