That was an information given by my colleague following a discussion 
with the community but that was more an advise than a recommendation.

The server is a PDC.

Actually, we want to make a test with 5000 machines and we wanted to 
know if it has been done before and try to have some feedback (mainly in 
terms of performance) for a configuration like this.

I would like to know if the following configuration is possible : PDC 
Samba 4 <-> DC Slave Samba 4.
The DC_SLAVE role doesn't seems to exist for the moment.

Thank you very much again for your help.
