That is the way you should do this

You should do this the other way around using AD integrated DNS on the
Win2k. You'll have more security in the zone.
Otherwise you'll have to either allow dynamic updates on the BIND or create
and maintain a lot of records on the BIND.
If there are records on the BIND you need on the MSDNS create a secondary on
the MS then convert it to AD integrated.
