Hi Rowland:
Was something that was evaluated, and in my case I agree with what you 
comment; I'm going to bring it up again to see if we change that.

I have a doubt when you say that windows clients can modify their dns 
records; are you referring to the generation of the A record when a 
computer joins the domain? or in some other situation a computer can 
somehow modify dns information within the dc's?
In our case the A records are not generated automatically in the domain 
join, is this because we are not doing the domain join using the dns of 
the dc's directly?
Regards
