Thanks Michael,

Indeed, this is a very important point.  Samba4 is a complex beast, but
we have done our best to simplify it's installation.  To help us help
you, please install it all on one host, and if at all possible, use
Fedora 14 - it has all the support required for dynamic DNS in it's
bind, and that will avoid you needing to compile BIND from sources.
