I'd guess the easiest way would be to setup the Samba AD domain as a subdomain of the existing DNS domain. Say "samba.third-level.somedomain.com" Then for queries for "samba.third-level.somedomain.com" the exiting DNS server could forward them to the Samba AD running the Internal_Samba_DNS, and for queries outside "samba.third-level.somedomain.com" the Samba4 AD could send them to the existing DNS server. The Samba AD must have it's own DNS, either the Samba_Internal or Bind9_DLZ. [I've not heard of anyone doing a Samba4 setup with DNS completely external to the Samba4 AD hardware, though perhaps it's possible - but I'd guess one would be better off partitioning the two - DNS related to the Samba domain and DNS outside of it.) HTH - I'm no expert, but that's the way I've seen it done [and done it myself] and that seems the most straight-forward to my way of thinking. -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
