Changing from using NIS to DNS

We need to get our redhat WS V3 machines resolving machine names from the
dns on the main file and print servers ( Windows 2003) rather than
using nis? Currently two Unix machines are the NIS master and slave but
they are being decommissioned soon so we need the redhat machines to
resolve names using our two Windows 2003 Servers that have just been
installed. I need to know what needs to be done to get this to work. What
changes? What order things need doing in? Is downtime needed? Do we have to
take out the NIS settings in authconfig so it is Blank? Any help is much
appreciated.
