Microsoft's DNS server was forked from BIND 4, Merchant Server was an acqusition that run on Python in it's first incarnation and as dalke mentions various networking infrastructure came from the BSDs.

The Wikipedia article on Microsoft's DNS server states that bind 4 was not used, and that the Microsoft's DNS server was fully written by Microsoft. Sadly, it doesn't have a source, so it kind of leaves the question open.

It was most definitely written in house. Not terrible pretty code either.
