Linux server with Windows server DNS?

I recently converted our Active Directory domain from MS/DNS to BIND, 
replacing the existing "legacy" BIND that was in place for the Linux 
machines along with replacing the DHCP server. (clustering now)
BIND/AD integration is actually very simple in retrospect, it's just not 
very documented anywhere.  Every part is in a different how-to, and some 
is only on an MS how-to. (my findings)
Basically the client updates dynamic DNS when it logs in.  You are 
required to set "allow-update" to every client, unfortunately.

When a person says "Linux network", what do they mean?
NFS?
There are clients available that allow Windows to use NFS.
