dns updates from a windows client

[Haim [Howard] Roman]

I don't know whether this suits your case, but...


In our case, our main DNS servers are UNIX-based.  We also have MS
domains.  We defined DNS subdomains that the MS domain controllers are
masters for, and our main DNS servers are slave for them.  Of course,
for this to work well, the DNS search path must be set correctly on the
clients.  Alternatively, in your main domain, you could define aliases
for hosts in the subdomain, e.g.,


    alef.my.org would be an alias to alef.ms.my.org
