The move to AD involves re-configuration of DNS. We already have a local
DNS server, which works nicely with our DHCP server.

It's not clear to me what zones the AD DNS server needs to serve? I
wonder if I can keep my existing zones (forward/reverse resolution for
all the machines in the LAN) and, if the zones that the AD DNS server
requires do not overlap, then I can set up my existing DNS server as a
slave for the new zones?
