DDNS record scavenging is the only feature I'm aware of that MS DNS has that Bind doesn't . On the flip side, ISC Bind can ACL who can add certain record types to a dynamic zone using GSS-TSIG as well as supports views and ACLs for recursion. Everything else should be standard DNS.

You should think of DNS hosting, DNS resolution and DHCP, as separate services that can either be put together on a single platform, or run on separate platforms in various combinations, interoperating with each other. Another important factor is whether your AD domain is colocated with a bunch
