Hi,
I'd be most happy to answer any questions you may have, though fair warning:
my version of Samba is kind of outdated (alpha 12), so what worked for me
might not work for you.
Well, I am ashamed to say I too am running right now alpha 12
because that is what came in ubuntu 10.10. So, hopefully I should be
able to duplicate your stuff ;)
Well I could just recommend you not to do so, there is more recent packages:
https://launchpad.net/~samba-team/+archive/ppa
I would really advocate to follow them or even better to get a very
recent and build your own .deb based on the ppa package.
Alpha 12 is _really_ old now, you'll miss a lot of new features like
protected storage, dirsync, and a lot of bug fixes on replication, on
password management and fixes on scalability (serving more than 1 LDAP
request at a time ...).
I'm not too familiar with offloading the DNS service to another computer; as
you may have surmised, my setup has the DNS on the Samba server. I think the
main thing about having a DNS server is getting it to accept updates from
clients (dynamic DNS updates for browsing).
Right now my "normal" DNS server can do the dynamic dns updates.
I am, however, wondering which other things I need to provide. For
instance, I would expect stuff like netbios-node-type and
netbios-name-servers can be provided by my current dhcp server without
hurting the samba4 AD behaviour. I could be wrong...
So offloading DHCP on another server is not a problem at all, when it
comes to DNS it's more problematic although you can cope with it.
Why not creating a sub domain for your AD realm ? (ie. ad.mycompany.com).
