Native mode impact on Mixed Mode forest external one-way non-transitive trust relationship

[W2K]

I'm looking for some insight on going to Native Mode. I have separate mixed-mode forests connected via an external one-way
non-transitive trust to an Administrative forest. I would like to convert the Administrative forest to Native Mode, but the other
forest cannot convert to native mode. All forest register with and utilize WINS for name resolution.

Does anyone know the impact of this conversion on:
- the trust relationship
- the WINS service running in the Administrative Forest
- the DNS relationship between the forest

Going to native mode will not impact trust relationships, WINS, or DNS. The
only limitation is the domain that is changed to native mode cannot have any
Windows NT 4.0 backup domain controllers.
