Hey ,

 I am running the Primary DNS server on Windows 2003 AD integrated and
the slave DNS server is running on FC3.Below is my named.conf file

options {
	directory "/var/named";
	dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
	
};

// 
// a caching only nameserver config
// 
controls {
	inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; };
};

zone "." IN {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

zone "localdomain" IN {
	type master;
	file "localdomain.zone";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "localhost" IN {
	type master;
	file "localhost.zone";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
	type master;
	file "named.local";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa"
IN {
        type master;
	file "named.ip6.local";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN {
	type master;
	file "named.broadcast";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
	type master;
	file "named.zero";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "sunupdelhi.net" IN {
      type slave;
      masters { 192.168.1.100; };
      file "slaves/sunupdelhi.net";
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN {
      type slave;
      masters { 192.168.1.100; };
      file "slaves/192.168.1.zone";
};


include "/etc/rndc.key";


The Bind is chrooted on FC3.So the data(192.168.1.zone ) file  should
be under chroot directory in /var/named.

On Windows 2003 you have to set the zone transfers to the Bind Dns
otherwise you won't be able to receive the updates.I am running the
Primary DNS with secure option.
