"AccessWest.com": Re: Windows 2000 disables remote netscape clients

[Lee Flight]

Hi,

the Domain Naming Master role is a master role for Windows2000 domains
not DNS Domains. These roles have meaning only in the context of
Windows2000 Active Directory multimaster replication and no bearing on
BIND/DNS.
