Unix Bind and Windows DNS with Dynamic update issues!!!

Currently, I have a network running NT 4.0 with WINS only, but use a UNIX DNS
server for internal and external name resolution. The plan is to upgrade to
Windows 2003/AD, but the Unix DNS server
still needs to be in place and all of our Windows clients are pointing to
Unix for DNS resolution. The plan is to call our new forest root domain
"company.com"
the same name that the Unix DNS server is the authoritive server for that
domain.

Now, I have setup a Windows 2003 AD and DNS test server with same FQAN
"company.com" as UNIX (Unix is the root authoriative domain for
"company.com"). I added Windows 2003 DNS as a thrid DNS entry in Windows
clients in order for Windows clients to join AD Domain and search AD objects.
(Otherwise Windows clients will not able to join AD Domain)
But the problem i have right now is Dynamic update is not working in Windows
DNS server unless i change the order of Windows DNS server as Primary option.
Is that true i have to make Windows client pointing to Windows DNS server as
Primary option in order to make dynamic update working? But i really need to
have Windows clients pointing to UNIX as Primary/Secondary choice.

Any suggestion would be appreicate!

Thanks.
