Comments on Replacing ms dns with bind9
Isc Bind 9 for windows Replacing ms dns with bind9 is an better idea here is why:1.It's really faster (noticed when i run first query on that machine and had lower latency)2.Better security (windows2k is not supported with patches in future) 3.You can migrate easily to linux after that ;) Download from isc.org unzip it and run the installer (bindinstaller.exe) from inside directory

How about some GUI tool, for those lazy admins, or unexperienced users, who might want to try BIND? Maybe they're not so keen on manually editing the configuration files.
Lazy, inexperienced folks shouldn't be administering servers.
Try http://www.webmin.com/ (webmin) is an excellent tool to administer you server from a remote location .... :)
you can write one very easy in lazarus or wxwidgets
I replaced ours this year with ISC DHCP and ISC Bind. You'll want to make sure you properly handle the "_" zones that Windows AD servers use. We just use IP based auth to allow them (Domain Member Servers) to make their dynamic updates into those zones. We use dynamic updates throughout and have written simple commmand line tools that allow us to add/del entries.
Seems to be much more reliable/predictable than Windows AD stuff (we run ours on Linux of course).
We move dns from w2k dns server to windows Bind9 server
the we will move it to linux bind9 (that is the most easy step)
You can skip the w2k dns to windows bind9 migration and copy the zone files to linux and then configure them manually (create the configuration for zone files as in example)
Hi
Is i posible to migrate current w2k dns server to Isc Bind 9 on linux?
tks
