Hi, Matthieu, We have completed the investigation for your questions below.
>* in which order the domain should be returned ? if any (ie. first >lower domain like samba.corp then au.samba.corp then brisbane.au.samba.corp) ANS: The domain referral must include names for the local domain and may include all other domains in a random order. >* I understand that nebios/dns name must go in couple, (ie. not return >first all the dns name then all the netios name, but each pair >accordingly), but what must appear first NETBIOS domain or DNS domain name ? ANS: NETBIOS domain and DNS domain names also appear in a random order in domain referral response. Please let us know if you have more questions, otherwise I will consider this issue closed. Thanks!

Also depending on the answer you'll make on the first point this statement might need also amendment: "MUST give preference to the NetBIOS and fully qualified names of the DC's own domain first, and then give preference to other domains. This ensures that a client in the same domain as the server will always be able to access SYSVOL and NETLOGON paths correctly.<35>" As I understand it didn't state that the own domain of the DC must be first, just that if the DC has a choice to make between its own domain referral information and another domain then it should choose its own first. Am I right ? Regards.
