MS DNS slave to Bind Master configuration

[news.verizon.net]

Hello all.

I am running Windows 2000 Server MS DNS with Active Directory.
I installed bind 9.2.3 on Solaris 8.

Unfortunately I am not permissioned to install bind 9.2.3 on Windows 2000.
I want the Windows 2000 MS DNS to use the Bind 9.2.3 on a Solaris 8 system
as it's primary DNS.

I can only find information on using MS DNS as the primary and Bind 9 as the
slave.

since _tcp.company.com _msdcs.company.com _sites.company.com
_udp.company.com have no zone files of their own
How do I create the bind zone files for these subdomains of company.com?

I assume that _tcp.company.com _msdcs.company.com _sites.company.com
_udp.company.com subdomains
use SOA and NS records like any othe zone file.

TIA
Dave

That is the way you should do this

since _tcp.company.com _msdcs.company.com _sites.company.com
_udp.company.com have no zone files of their own
How do I create the bind zone files for these subdomains of
company.com?

I assume that _tcp.company.com _msdcs.company.com _sites.company.com
_udp.company.com subdomains
use SOA and NS records like any othe zone file.

You should do this the other way around using AD integrated DNS on the
Win2k. You'll have more security in the zone.
Otherwise you'll have to either allow dynamic updates on the BIND or create
and maintain a lot of records on the BIND.
If there are records on the BIND you need on the MSDNS create a secondary on
the MS then convert it to AD integrated.
