You keep saying that. Here's proof to the contrary ('arachnid' is a
windows 2000 advanced server host, with the labs.ntrg.com. zone hosted
inside active directory):
[ 21:24:34 -- weasel:/mnt/home/root/ ]
[ ehall$ ] nsupdate
server arachnid.labs.ntrg.com
update add foo.labs.ntrg.com 86400 TYPE64999 \# 15

[ 21:25:19 -- weasel:/mnt/home/root/ ]
[ ehall$ ] dig @arachnid.labs.ntrg.com foo.labs.ntrg.com. any

Record was added to Win2k Active Directory zone via Dynamic DNS update
operation and retrieved via standard query.
The protocols do not require you to do anything. whether you have broken
this functionality in later products is something I cannot test.
