Yes, although we did this by something of a bespoke method.
In general, DNS that will support dynamic updates and SRV records is all
that's required, but I implemented a slightly different tack on that.
Did involve using a placeholder domain at the top of the forest, though,
and partial delegation of that zone (at the time, the UNIX run DNS
didn't support either dynamic updates or SRV records).

Well if you're UNIX based DNS (BIND) supports dynamic updates and SRV
records, and doesn't prevent updates via other platforms (ie there's no
authentication issues) then you should be good to go.
Just be sure you've carefully understood the use of the namespace,
though.
