I may be missing something here, but - Other than the security issues common
to all wireless networks, there are no direct or obvious implications
associated with adding a wireless access point to a domain environment.
Your wireless clients will need to be configured to enable wireless access,
but they are otherwise configured just like any domain client - ie. they can
still join the domain, log onto the domain, receive DHCP scope options, etc.
There is no reason they can't use the same DNS settings as wired clients,
and there is nothing about an an access point that is going to prevent or
conflict with this. If instead you were adding a wireless router which
pumps out its own DHCP options, you might have a conflict/configuration
issue.
