Hi John,

We're using bind for all our DNS and dhcpd for all our DHCP, and we
have three AD networks that are working fine. We configured bind to
accept updates from the AD servers' IP addresses, and we've been
ignoring the fact that the XP clients want to register dynamic DNS
entries. I know this should supposedly be breaking some kerberos
requirements for correct forward and reverse lookups, but we haven't
noticed any problems, and we've been running this way for two years.
