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.
