Samba 4 current release - Sites Support

[Mark Walker]

Thanks for clarifying that Andrew.

Its only a simple two site setup so im only attempting to ensure clients
wont be tempted to cross the site to site vpn without good reason. Im sure
the DCs themselves will end up supporting it in the future but it should
work for us!

Keep up the great work on Samba :)

Cheers,
Mark Walker
