We
started out by using Bind on the external (SOA) and using AD DNS on the inside
with split brain. After 2-3 months (the UNIX bind server owners hate
everything about Microsoft), and listening to millions of shots about how
Microsoft doesn't follow the standards we got the solution working......Or so we
thought. Once we installed MOM, we noticed that the environment was
degrading. We finally gave up and registered a NEW domain name and are
implementing a pure Microsoft solution for the new domain. I really don't
think that any of our problems were to serious to be worked out from a technical
perspective, but quite honestly I got tired of the constant political
battles. If you have a choice, I see no reason to stay on BIND. The
UNIX guys will tell you how great it is, but check out this web site http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/blurb/unbind.html for
a list of problems with BIND.

Hi, we are planning the upgrade from NT to Win2k 2003. Currently we use Unix DNS, the question is should I keep it just make sure it supports NDR records or replace it with Microsoft DNS.
Any pros and cons?
Thanks,
Juan
