The only problem I have run into is figuring out what they
mean regarding listening on multiple ip addresses.
There is a limitation on this which spits out an error to the
event viewer but does not seem to effect the name resolutions.
One of those "gotta track that done when I get a chance" things.

Subject: More Problems with DNS stopping randomly.
I have been battling this same problem except I use Metainfo's DNS 2.5.
If I use NSLooup and try to bring up any domain from that DNS server I
get timeouts or long pauses.
I found one thing that I was doing wrong according to the DNS & Bind
book. I had multiple "A" records pointed to the same IP. I have taken
those records out and made one "A" record pointing to the IP and
"CNAME" records pointing to the "A" record. This seems to helped, but
I'm still having the problems. If anyone could shed some light on
either of these problems it would be much appreciated.
