What you are looking to do is use Windows Active Directory (AD) with native bind. Your best bet is to follow the instructions provided by Microsoft since they know AD best.

The easiest way to do this in my opinion is allow the IP address of the domain controller to dynamically update it's own A, SRV and CNAME records in DNS. This is covered in the document above.
