    Microsoft's implementation of DNS isn't based on BIND at all. IIRC, none of
    the bugs that have shown up in BIND in at least the last 2-3 years have also
    shown up in Microsoft's DNS server. A number of news reports covering this
    latest bug have confused this issue as they apparently think all DNS
    implementations are BIND. I don't know the current status, but I seem to
    recall a Win32 port of BIND, so I'd guess it could at least theoretically be
    running on NT.
