What I meant above is this: I inherited a Netware network with dns not
ever fully configured. A couple of branches had dns, most did not. But
we were running IPX/SPX and the related services. We started adding w2k
servers as applications that were needed, needed w2k. This led to domain
controllers. Which led to this present situation. Before moving forward,
I wanted to get a clear picture of what I needed to do, hence this post.

I agree and now understand where problems would come from.
