RE: Active Directory requires Microsoft DNS?

  • From: Nathan Eisenberg

If your AD domain is a subdomain, like corp.job.com, you can always delegate the subdomain's name service to the MS DNS servers from the BIND servers.  That way, you don't have to make huge changes to your existing environment.
