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.
