*cough* did I really write that?  Yes, the basic DNS protocol structs 
are the same.  I think I meant to say that the resource record (type)
structs differ entirely or something like that.  Or maybe my brain 
just short circuited (which would explain why I wrote 'not even
remotely' related.)  

Anyway, the point is that (as far as I know) you can't use normal
DNS tools to exchange netbios RRs.  ( ... right? :) )
