What you have read must be old.  I have been running an MS DNS Server
as a master for AD with BIND slaves.  I had initial problems in 1999,
but after some MS fixes in 2000, I have had few problems.

As to why this configuration?  BIND does not yet support the MS GSS-TSIG
authorization for secure dynamic DDNS (as "required" by Active
Directory).  I have around 45 zones on the MS W2k+3 DNS Server.
