Have any of you successfully configured BIND 9.2.1 on Windows 2000. Am trying to without much success.

I'm guessing the Named.conf and zone files are similar to UNIX. Are BIND 4 Zone files compatible?

Before anyone says, use th ebuilt in Windows 2000 DNS Service, I can't..... MAPS won't allow us to set up a slave to their blackhole lists on anything other than BIND 8.2.3 and above.

TIA

There is a Technet article explaining how to configure BIND for use with AD.

Here is an extract of the summary:

Any DNS server that supports Active Directory must support SRV records (defined in RFC 2782), and it is strongly recommended that the DNS server also support Dynamic DNS (defined in RFC 2136).
To properly deploy BIND to support Active Directory, you must use BIND version 8.2.2 patch 7 or later. You must configure the named.conf file to include a zone statement defining the DNS name of the Active Directory domain, and specify the location of the database file for the zone. You must set the check-names directive to ignore (BIND 8 only), and you can configure the allow-update directive to allow domain controllers to register their DNS data through Dynamic DNS.
Once the BIND server is configured correctly and the NameD Daemon is restarted, Windows 2000 domain controllers, servers, and clients should have their TCP/IP properties configured with the IP address of the BIND DNS Server as their preferred DNS server. The Netlogon service can be restarted on any Windows 2000 client to force an immediate registration of DNS records with the BIND DNS Server.

Hope it helps (Probably not!!)
