SBS is designed to be *THE* server, I think it includes SQL server as 
well for the full trifecta.  You can't add a DC to a SBS controlled 
domain and you can't have it as the member of another domain.  Maybe you 
can add a trust to your smb domain, but that seems doubtful as well 
since the box is supposed to be your one stop shop for Windows service 
setup.  That of course makes it kind of hard to do a backup machine, but 
I guess if you've got the money for two machines you've got the money 
for two full Win Server licenses and CALs I guess.
