HP-UX DNS and Win2K AD

We are presently beginning to define our Windows 2000 Active Directory (AD) architecture here. I would prefer to keep my BIND server(s) UNIX (HP-UX) based. It appears we will need BIND 8.1.2 or better. I've even seen BIND 9.1 out there. What version is the best to run with AD and does anyone have any other suggestions or recommendations?

Re: HP-UX DNS and Win2K AD

In lu of the new security announcements coming out, I understand that it is recommended that you upgrade to 9.1.0, but if that is not possible, 8.2.3 would suffice. You can read more about it at the following 2 links:

and
http://www.securityfocus.com has a link to a bind article in the headings.

Re: HP-UX DNS and Win2K AD

Apparently there are a few new bugs out there. Has anyone tried MS AD with BIND 9.x? Successfully? Is anybody using BIND 8.2.3 with AD? I can find an HP supported implementation of 8.1.2. What's the best way to get 8.2.3?
