A suitable experiment would be to configure one of the major zones with an MNAME pointing to a DNS server that is not a listed NS server for the zone, but has plenty of instrumentation attached to it to figure out who is doing what, and why. (And which logs to a different fileset!) If the load stays on the operational root, we know that Win2K DDNS is NOT the problem.
