Create a secondary zone of the existing zone on the non-Windows DNS server.
Then simply make it AD integrated and ALL your DCs (that have DNS installed
on them) will automatically have a copy without any further involvement,
almost like magic. You can then eliminate the non-Windows server or use it
as a secondary zone. Don't forget to change the IP configs so they use only
themselves as the first entry, and choose on of the others in their own site
as the second entry.
