Don't need to. Win2k implies Active Directory, implies "hostnames
starting with _" as well as "I *so* need to be the primary DNS, or
I'll go make a horrible mess of your DDNS zone files! Ha ha!"

Neither "primary" nor "secondary" appear in my named.conf; rather
I've got "master" and "slave". A zone for which a given BIND
instance is a "slave" needs to have a masters {} block listing the
IP addresses of the hosts from which to retrieve the zone. You'll
also need to be sure that the master permits your doing named-xfers
from the BIND host (no clue how you configure that in AD's DNS
server).

I guess. But if the Win2k box is the primary DNS, why aren't you
pointing at it?
If the problem here is that the zone on the Win2k box lacks the A
record I told you to add, go fix the real problem over there, since
lacking that A record will break plenty of other things too.
