those ns�s aren�t delegated with their own domain�s authority:

clear as mud, can you show the zone files that W2K has produced for these
two zones and a typical zone from the 20 you host?
you clearly have delegation problems. Don�t waste you time on W2k DNS
until that machine is NS with authority for your domains.

w2k DNS is ok, but no matter what you use, learn DNS if you plan to be a
hosting service and run you own DNS. Buy the O�Reilly book, 4th edition.
