When you say "help", are you implying that you would have both Windows AND Linux DNS?  If so, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

If you're new to DNS or Linux then I'd go straight to the Windows solution.  Configuring the zones for AD in Linux requires a little skill.  If, on the other hand, your Linux and DNS skills are up to it then it can be done.  

Here is a good troubleshooting page:  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/activedirectory/maintain/opsguide/part1/adogd10.mspx
