First, you should try and run Bind 9.8, as it is much, much easier to
configure.  The he named.conf snippit for bind 9.7 you have is also old,
but if you use the newer bind, the smaller snippit it uses is also much
simpler.

Finally, a known issue with upgrades from Samba3 and imports from
windows via 'net domain join' is that the dns-machine account is not
created.
