-               As of 3.0 and up, Windows support is untested and probably does not work at all.

-         PowerDNS support for Windows is, as of 1.99.12, very recent and therefore quite 'beta'. For reliability, we currently advise the use of 
-         the Unix versions. Furthermore there is no support for master or slave operation in the ODBC backend, which is the only one provided currently. 
-      </para>

-    <para>
-      As of 1.99.12, PowerDNS supports Windows natively. PDNS can act as an NT service and works with any ODBC drivers you may have.

-      To install PowerDNS for Windows you should check if your PC meets the following requirements:
-      <itemizedlist>
-      <listitem>
-         <para>
-           A PC running Microsoft NT (with a recent servicepack and at least mdac 2.5), 2000 or XP.

-       </listitem>
-       <listitem>
-         <para>An ODBC source containing valid zone information (an example MS Access database is supplied in the form of <filename>powerdns.mdb</filename>).

-      </itemizedlist>
-  </para>

-  <para>
-    After installing the software you should create a valid ODBC source.
-    To do this you have open the ODBC sources dialog: <filename>Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources (ODBC)</filename>.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    We'll use the example zone database that is included in the installation to explain how to create a source.
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    When you are in the ODBC sources dialog you activate the <filename>System DSN</filename> tab. 
-    <note><para>It is important to create a System DSN instead of an User DSN, otherwise the ODBC backend cannot function.</para></note>

-      <title>Running PDNS on Microsoft Windows</title>
-
-    <para>
-      If you installed pdns on Windows NT, 2000 or XP you can run pdns as a service.
-         </para>
-
-       <para>
-      This is how to do it:
-      Go to services (<filename>Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services</filename>) and locate <filename>PDNS</filename> (you should have registered the program as a NT service during the installation).
-    </para>
-    
-    <para>
-      Double-click on <filename>PDNS</filename> and push the start button. You should now see a progress bar that gets to the end and see the status change to 'Started'.
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      This is the same as starting pdns like this:
-      <filename>pdns.exe --ntservice</filename>
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      If you haven't registered pdns as a service during the installation you can do so from the command line by starting pdns like this:
-      <filename>pdns.exe --register-service</filename>
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      You can run pdns as a standard console program by using a command prompt or <filename>Start->Run...</filename>
-      This way you can specify command-line parameters (see the documentation for command line options).
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      If you chose to add a PowerDNS menu to the start menu during the installation you can start pdns using the pdns shortcut in that menu.
