I do not see what is so complicated.  In the example.com zone on
the BIND master server, add these four lines:

     _msdcs          IN      NS      w2kdns.example.com.
     _sites          IN      NS      w2kdns.example.com.
     _tcp            IN      NS      w2kdns.example.com.
     _udp            IN      NS      w2kdns.example.com.

These delegate the four "_" zones to the W2k DNS server.  
In the four zones 

     _msdcs.example.com
     _sites.example.com
     _tcp.example.com
     _udp.example.com

on the W2k DNS server (w2kdns.example.com) list the BIND server as a
slave for each of the four "_" zones.  Depending upon how you configure
zone transfers on the W2k DNS, you might have zone transfer problems.
I believe this has been posted previously; check the list archives.
