Hi Edgar, unless you are doing something wrong, I think you may be 
misunderstanding a Samba domain and DNS.

Every Samba AD DC runs a a dns server, this could be the built in dns 
server or Bind9. You refer to 'slave-DNS', but there are no 'slaves' in 
Samba AD, like Microsoft AD, all dns servers running on a DC are 
masters, this is known as 'multi-master'. As all the dns records are 
stored in AD, you just setup the dns server the same on all DC's.

Any further questions, please ask.
