You need to look at the *OFFICIAL* Samba HOWTO and 'by example' texts.
And only those texts,  disregard everything else.

It sounds like you want to create a local domain (possibly with an LDAP
SAM) and establish a trust relationship between your 'local' domain and
the central ADS domain.  This is covered in the aforementioned
documentation.
