I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand the question.

What I'm suggesting is :

1) use the bind-dlz plugin to use bind instead of the internal DNS 
server, bind must run on the same servers as Samba
2) use the internal server for the dns zone ad.mycompany.com but have a 
bind configured to handle mycompany.com and configure it to forward any 
requests for ad.mycompany.com to the samba DNS server. If you want to do 
DDNS with DHCP you have to configure the dns domain to mycompany.com so 
that it goes to the master Bind.
