Integrate MAC workstation with AD and OD

http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/MacOSXMagicTriangle

Just gone through the above article : Step Three - Bind OS X Client to Open Directory and I have some questions:

1. For the DNS setting on MAC client, should I need to add the DNS of the Open Directory server
2. if the Open Directory server is included in the DNS setting of the DHCP  server leasing, will it cause any problem for my mac and window workstation
3. Should I just lease the Window DNS server in DHCP server leasing, and put the Open Directory Server on MAC client ?
4. Can I high-code some DNS record in the Server OSX so that my mac workstation can use it instead of the DC in order to offload DNS request on my Domain controller ?

If you don't need the OD control, just auth, look at centrify free. It's free.

We have over 1000 devices in network, with 500+ for MAC. Any comment ?

Nope, no comment. The setup still remains as I noted above.

Why do you want to use the golden triangle?

Do you need to do a lot of Mac management or have a large number of shares on Mac volumes?
