Secure zone transfers between standard primary and secondary

I would like to setup a Win2k secondary DNS server to be
a slave to my primary Win2k DNS server. I will setup
zone transfers only to the secondary. Is there anyway to
use DNSSEC or have encrypted zone tranfers with Win2k?

Thanks,
RJ

Yes, If these are Win2k Domain Controllers, you can make the Zones Active
Directory Integrated and disable zone transfers all together.
 
Unfortunately there isn't any support specifically for secure DNS zone transfers. However, you could setup an IP sec policy that encrypted TCP port 53 traffic
between these two machines. This would encrypt the zone transfer via IPsec accomplishing the same thing.

Thank you,
