Are you using DHCP for Linux server?
What kind of DHCP server are you using?
There are many cases when DNS server unable to use hostname of Linux machine that is using DHCP.
I recommend set manually IP address for Linux server and configure DNS server to use Linux server name for that IP address.
This should resolve your issues with DNS.
How are you adding Linux server to Windows domain? Is SAMBA configured properly on your server. I think you shall join your Linux server to Windows domain from SAMBA, it will add hostname to computer list in AD.

namepool
namepool(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual namepool(4)
NAME
namepool - DHCP server database
DESCRIPTION
The namepool database provides joind with names that are available for dynamic assignment to clients of the DHCP protocol. For each DHCP
server and domain name (NIS or DNS), the database contains a collection of names available for allocation to DHCP clients within those
domains. One name plays a distinguished role - it is used as a prefix when the pool has been exhausted. Names are generated from the pre-
fix by appending a number, 1,2.., and a trailing 'd'. The namepool file is read whenever joind starts. Names within the database must not
be allocated to hosts which are not DHCP clients, and if the administration of a domain is shared between several DHCP servers, the name-
pools that each has must be disjoint. Names may be added and removed from the namepool file. If a name is removed from the file it remains
bound to the client to which it was allocated; if no such binding is in effect the name is excised from the server's pool the next time the
server starts. Once a name is dynamically bound to a host it will never be reused even if that host subsequently acquires a new name, but
there is no need to remove it from namepool.
FORMAT
Blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign (#) are ignored. A new entry must begin in column one and has one of the following for-
mats:
domain server
domain server name_prefix
The domain variable is the domain in which the names which follow are assigned.
The server variable is the name or IP address of the server in charge of allocating these names to clients.
The prefix variable is the prefix that will be used when the pool is exhausted.
Succeeding lines contain one or more names for domains that are to be allocated by the server. Each of these succeeding lines must begin
with at least one white space character.
