I used to work for a company that was
a Microsoft Partner in Australia (they
actually got World Wide Partner Award
in 1996 I think was the year - not sure)
So I used to run NT 4.0 Server on one
computer at home coz it was on my desk
at work - the License worked that way.
Now I can think of another reason for
not using MS DNS - on NT Server 4.0
it sent a message to MS every 45 minutes
when I had it running.
Never did bother to work out what was in
the message, but suffice to say, I was
glad to move my DNS to Linux for all the
usual reasons plus one extra!
