Paul,

Ive dug up some additional information on windows 2000 DNS
which indicates that it It can be used to try and  Seize control of DNS.

This is Evil....!! Bill Gates is the Devil himself.

DNS in windows 2000

To seize the domain naming master role

   1.Click Start, click Run, and then type cmd.
   2.At the command prompt, type ntdsutil.
   3.At the ntdsutil prompt, type roles.
   4.At the fsmo maintenance prompt, type connections.
   5.At the server connections prompt, type connect to server, followed
by the fully qualified domain name.
   6.At the server connections prompt, type quit.
   7.At the fsmo maintenance prompt, type seize domain naming master.
   8.At the fsmo maintenance prompt, type quit.
   9.At the ntdsutil prompt, type quit.

      Caution

     Seizing the domain naming master is a drastic step that should be
considered only if the current operations master will never
     be available again.

    Note

     Before seizing the domain naming master, remove the current
operations master from the network and verify that the new
     operations master is up to date. For more information about single
master operations, see Related Topics.
