Active Directory Settings in Bind 822?

[Greg Fischer]

I am having trouble setting up Active Directory with Linux Bind 8.2.2 P5.
It says the Dns server doesnt support AD. (I cant remember the exact error)
And then I have to setup a MSDns server.(I don't want to)
I have searched through archives on this list, and on the internet, but
found little info on a procedure to do it.

I have three Dns servers on Linux version 8.2.2.  Since it should support
Active Directory with the SRV records, IXFR's, and Dynamic UPdate, I would
rather not setup another Master using MSDns, and just use my existing ones.
I also would rather not setup a subdomain.
It just seems that it would be easier to administer later.

So, what I ask is, can someone show me a sample named.conf file with the
settings that will allow AD to talk to it? And maybe some pointers.  I
pledge to list a web page describing the setup procedures for people out
there who want to know as I do.

I have read through the "DNS and Bind" book from O'reilly, but it doesn't
get too detailed on dynamic update and Incremental zone transfers.

There needs to be a HOWTO out there for AD and Bind 8.2.2.
