Are you setting it up in slapd.conf but Samba configured cn=config
(config backend)?  There isn't any reason multiple databases/roots
shouldn't work.

We do much the same thing, using LDAP enabled BIND and DHCP.  We've just
poked at Samba 4 a little bit because how to get from "here" to "there"
is a real head scratcher.  [It is hard to imagine giving up DNS in LDAP,
it is just too handy.]
