No, please No, setting up bind dlz is not a PITA as you put it. You
really need to run a DNS server that is authoritative for your samba
domain and anything else is forwarded to another DNS server that knows
about everything else i.e. if a client asks for info about another
domain member, your samba4 server would supply this via bind, if it
asked for an internet site, your samba 4 DNS server would ask the
forwarder and would then give this info to the client, this is a very
simplistic way of putting it, but I sure you get the drift.
If there is something you don't understand about anything on the wiki,
please ask, I will try to help you out and if the wiki proves to be
unclear, I will then update the relevant wiki page.
If you are not wedded to ubuntu and are willing to use Debian instead, a
user called Louis van Belle posts on here and he actually provides
scripts to install a DC for you, you can find these scripts here:

Even if you don't want to use Debian and can read and understand a bash
script, they may help you when/if you re-install.
