Hi, if you provisioned RC1 without stating which dns server you want, 
you get the internal one, but there is a couple of gotcha's. It seems to 
set the forwarder to (I believe) what ever is in /etc/resolv.conf (jump 
in here if I am wrong) and the internal dns server DOES NOT LISTEN on 
127.0.0.1 . You can fix this by adding the line 'interfaces = 127.0.0.1 
192.168.0.5' to /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf ( where 192.168.0.5 is the 
ipaddress of the AD server). It would seem that all the configuration is 
done in smb.conf.
