samba as a DC

I would like to run samba as a domain controller.  However, i would like
samba to find its passwords elsewhere.  Is it passible to have 

security=domain
password=asudc

.. where the asudc is a domain controller that has all the password stuff
in it.  In me reading it appears to have a security=domain requires the
machine be joined to a nt domain.  however, you can have two DC's.. nor
can samba act as a BDC -- nor do I want it do.  I'm looking for a way to
have samba find all its authentication info from our campus NT domain --
but still have the power of a domain controller for NT..

failing this, would it be passible to compile in the kerberos stuff into
samba, have security=domain, but have kerberos act like the password
server?
