I'm setting up another VM with the latest git sources of samba4.
When I'm done with the build, should I run the samba-tool domain join to
join as another DC on the domain or should I run samba-tool vampire to
synchronize the new DC with the other one?
On the new DC do I have to prepare also bind9+DLZ or am I supposed to
work only with the one on the PDC?

Sorry for the silly questions but this is my first experience.

Daniele
