Ok, so here's what caused my confusion. I don't make a distinction
between ADS and S4. To me, S4 is ADS. So naturally if you run a S4 DC,
that will sync with other AD DCs. But I don't consider S4 a special case.

Ok, same thing. I don't think S4 is designed to solve this problem.
Coming from the side where there's already an AD DC running, I see S4 as
an additional DC, not as a way to add a point of replication to another
directory server.
