One option would be to create a subdomain, and have one or more puppet-managed Bind servers authoritative for that subdomain, then just configure your windows DNS servers to forward requests for that subdomain to them. Another option, if you're running 2008 R2 on your DC's and you're storing DNS in LDAP - you can just add entries using standard LDAP tools called from puppet. There are a few caveats like the need to point it at the DC hosting the DNS operations master role. The two root folders that you need to look at for this are: DC=DomainDnsZones or Dc=ForestDnsZones. Entries have objectClasses like 'dnsZone' or 'dnsNode'.
