The only specific problem I've hit with Win2K machines and BIND was a
result of SRV records when allow-update is enabled on a zone. In an effort to
ensure the SRV record was unique, MS decided to use an underscore as the first
character in the name. I won't comment on that choice :) The easy solution is
check-names master ignore or disable dynamic updates on the zone.
I'm sure there are other interoperability issues, but because I'm forced
to work with older BIND versions, I can't say what issues you might see with
newer versions.
Cheers,
Colin
