Call me naive, but I’m trying to figure out what the corner case is to use BIND on Windows. For an internal network Windows Server already has a name server that integrates with AD and everything else needed to run a Windows network. Support for DDNS is a lot easier, it has tons of SRV records

What I find ironic is that here: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/README.md the very first line says: "BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is a complete, highly portable implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol." If this were truly the case, BIND would work
