Our DNS is running on BIND and our AD domain is
windows.mycompany.com. As I mentioned perviously, our DNS
admin has just created a subdomain called
windows.mycompany.com and registered the DC under this
subdomain.
I can't really delegate this subdomain to the DC as we
have almost 900 nodes in the network and they are mixed
with Windows and Linux machines. It would be very
difficult to assign the DNS IP to the Windows clients
through DHCP as our DHCP server does not distribute IP
address to PCs based on what OSs they are running. And
the other things is I am not the DNS/DHCP admin and I
don't have control of those servers

You would not have to add the DCs DNS to any client if you delegate the name
windows in the BIND DNS to the DC.
The DC would hold a zone named windows.mycompany.com any client looking for
windows.mycompany.com in the BIND DNS would cause the BIND DNS to get the
answer from the DC. It is really very simple and would not cause the DC to
work much harder because BIND will cache the requested DCs records for the
TTL value of the record. It would also free up the BIND admin from having to
maintain the AD records. BIND will do that with its caching.
All he really need to do is add this to the mycompany.com zone file.
; delegate windows.mycompany.com to Windows 2000 DNS server
windows.mycompany.com. IN NS dc1.windows.mycompany.com.
'dc1.windows.mycompany.com. IN A <dcipaddress>
Thats's it the DC is now handling DNS registration but BIND will handle
resolution for windows.mycompany.com through the delegation. The clients
would not even contact the Windows DNS, BIND will. Even if the client were
registering in the the Windows DNS BIND will send the registration on behalf
of the client.
