One option, if your existing DNS server is BIND, is to specify a zone of
type 'forward' pointing at your Samba AD DC.  

Otherwise, you can point your clients at the DNS server on the Samba AD
DC, and use either the default internal server, or bind9_dlz.  The dns
forwarder for the internal server (for zones we are not authoritative
for) is specified with 'dns forwarder' in smb.conf.  Be aware however
that we do not currently handle large DNS replies in our forwarder code
in the internal server right now.  (This isn't an issue with bind9_dlz
because that just uses the BIND code and configuration).

I hope this clarifies things,
