Pure ADS member with AD replication is not available inte the SAMBA 3
branch yet. SAMBA 4 is supposed to handle this but is currently only
in TP4 pre alpha stage and should only be used in testing purposes.

Unfortunately I think that the best solution is to have a W2003 at
the second office also until SAMBA 4 is stable but hopefully some
more experienced samba users have another idea. :)
