We currently have an existing Windows NT 4.0 server running our DNS
services.  We have been having some trouble with the OS crashing (go
figure!) and need to rebuild the box.  I again suggested using a FreeBSD box
to do our DNS and WWW.  What would be the best way to ensure our DNS
settings are transfered correctly?  Should we go ahead and install BSD with
BIND and run it as a secondary DNS.  Then, promote it to be the primary DNS
once a zone transfer has taken place?

I'm not that familiar with BIND.  I've been working with FreeBSD for a few
months now.  I've also tried to build a FreeBSD/Bind and a NT2000 box for
DNS services, but have never been successful to get the DNS services
running.

Also, at the latter part of this month, we are moving our current T-1's from
UUNet to SWB.  How difficult will it be to reconfigure BIND?
