thanks. 

Here is an example of a non-zero dwReserved for the 2nd question:

dnsRecord:     NDR: struct dnsp_DnssrvRpcRecord
        wDataLength              : 0x0021 (33)
        wType                    : DNS_TYPE_SRV (33)
        dwFlags                  : 0x0000f005 (61445)
        dwSerial                 : 0x000002ac (684)
        dwTtlSeconds             : 0x00000258 (600)
        dwTimeStamp              : 0x00000000 (0)
        dwReserved               : 0x0036d5ee (3593710)
        data                     : union dnsRecordData(case 33)
        srv: struct dnsp_srv
            wPriority                : 0x0000 (0)
            wWeight                  : 0x0064 (100)
            wPort                    : 0x0185 (389)
            nameTarget               : w2k8r2b.v2.tridgell.net


 > 2) what is the dwReserved field in all the dnsNode records? The MS-DNSP doc says:
