WIndows DNS (master) -> BIND (slave)

[Donny Jekels]

I really didn't think so many people would jump in on this thread just
because I am not BIND savvy and did not RTFM.

RTFM to me too.

Anyway it works and I am glad it does now I am on my marry way to get
rid of windows DNS and DHCP in our environment.
Thanks you everyone on this forum. 

I must say I am on a mailing list of many other tech forums and this one
is by far the most responsive ;-)

And how many folks do you think would be, on the one hand, BIND-savvy 
enough to use "rndc reconfig", yet, on the other hand, not know that 
BIND is perfectly capable of creating slave zone files from scratch?
