 Linux DNS server in a Win2003 domain
DNS, DNS server, Linux, Windows Server 2003
I have a Win2003 domain with mostly XP clients and 4 linux servers doing intranet/web, database, email and DNS. Initially I had the 2003 server doing DNS since it is the DC for windows clients. But the linux machines weren't happy. Moved the DNS server to a linux box, the other linux boxes were happy and windows clients don't seem to mind, although I see a lot of DNS related warnings on the 2003 server. What are the implications and/or basic issues I should be concerned with? Thanks.

Software/Hardware used:
CentOS 5, Windows 2003 server

Thanks for the reference!

I’m running BIND 9.3, so, according to the article things should be OK. It appears the only thing I need to do is to turn off Netlogon registering A resource records.
