SRV records in Bind 8.2.4 for Active Directory?

Hello All!
What are the exact SRV records (and ports if needed) that need to be added to my Bind 8.2.4 server for Active Directory?

I currently have:
_ldap._tcp.tierra.domain.com. SRV 0 0 389 tierra.domain.com.

_kerberos._tcp.tierra.domain.com. SRV 0 0 88 tierra.domain.com.

_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.tierra.domain.com. SRV 0 0 389 tierra.domain.com.

_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.tierra.domain.com. SRV 0 0 88 tierra.domain.com.
us.

Are any other records required (such as _mscds, _sites, _tcp, _udp)?

On the Active Directory box, it is pointing to itself for DNS resolution. All workstations are pointing to the BIND DNS server for resolution (or should I say for the SRV pointers). The active directory domain is: tierra.domain.com

I am not wanting to use dynamic updates for these few records if possible. My understanding is use the SRV records only or use DDNS w/ SRV records.

I did find this on Microsoft's website, but it doesn't list the ports. Do I need them? Our AD installation is on a 2003 server.

"On the non-dynamic DNS server that is authoritative for the zone with the name of the Active Directory domain, delegate the following zones to a Windows 2000-based server running DNS:
_udp.DNSDomainName
_tcp.DNSDomainName
_sites.DNSDomainName
_msdcs.DNSDomainName
For example, if the root zone is called reskit.com, delegate _udp.reskit.com, _tcp.reskit.com, _sites.reskit.com, and _msdcs.reskit.com to the Windows 2000-based server.

Note To delegate a Windows 2003-based server that is running DNS, you must delegate two additional subdomains:
ForestDnsZones.ForestDNSName
DomainDnsZones.DNSDomainName"

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks again,
SteveF
