DNS hostname on Servers in Active Directory

[Pete]

Is it possible for my servers, who were part of NT domain using
"company.com" as their dns hostname , to migrate into an Active Directory
environment that has an AD-namespace of "corp.local" - without changing
their current "company.com" hostnames - since they are serving applications
that depend on such hostnames?

One way to do this is to manually create a DNS zone for the old names.

When you add the servers to the AD Domain DNS entries will be created
for <server-name>.<domain-name>. To access them via the old names,
create a zone in the DNS for the old Domain Name and create entries for
the servers under their old names.
