The archives of this list (and of its late sister list bind9-users)
have LOTS of AD-related postings since I first subscribed in 1999.

The setup I have is this:

1) The AD-related zones are mastered on an MS W2k+3 DNS Server;
   those zones slaved on my BIND servers.  I have the six zones for
   anl.gov plus 16 sets of four zones for child domains of anl.gov.
   All of these zones are AD-integrated with secure DDNS.  I run only
   one MS DNS Server, on one of the four DCs (KB 282826).

2) All clients use my BIND servers for DNS resolution, as they did
   before we installed AD.

I will not claim that my scenario is the "correct" one or that it is the
best.  It is one that works here.
