Re: With Dynamic updates off, DNS server A records still update

I forgot to reply to this. Technically it is a violation for the exact same
reason that you stated, "each zone can only have one SOA record". This means
that each server MUST have the same SOA record, or an older version of the
master. Since each master has its own SOA record, then each zone has more
than one SOA record, one for each server. Aside from that, I can't see any
reason as to why MS even did this in the first place.

I should be able to set a value for the "Primary server" and not have to
worry about something else changing it on me. I think MS is confusing host
names and NetBIOS names, and uses them interchangably when they shouldn't be.
I don't want the public to know the NetBIOS name of my DNS servers, but the
way its implemented, I can't stop it. This definitely needs to be fixed.
