Yep - entirely possible. Me, I prefer running it the
other way around - Windows DNS for hosting the AD and a secondary on the
Linux server running BIND, but to each his own. The key is to use the
later versions of BIND and to config the dynamic update properties to allow the
myriad of zones and records that AD requires to be registered. But -
yes. It can absolutely be done, successfully. So much so, that we do
it ourselves in our shop, but - again - the opposite of what you are
asking.
In fact, Microsoft has a white paper and web cast on this:

Subject: [ActiveDir] W2K DC with sec DNS and Linux 7.2 with pri DNS
Hello Everyone,
I am a newbee to W2K domain design and I hope to receive some help
from you experts out there.
Scenario - We are creating a new domain with w2k as DC/AD. In the same
domain, we will have Linux 7.2 server and one more w2k server. In the end,
Linux will run as primary DNS and one out of the 2 w2k servers will run as
secondary DNS.
Do you think it is possible to achieve this? If yes, please suggest
how to do it.
Thanks a bunch
Cheers
Ketan
