[Samba] Using LDAP, no PDC/BDC, for multiple samba servers

[Adam Williams]

because you can only have one PDC.  BDCs will authenticate connections 
against LDAP on the PDC, but you can have the BDCs use a replicated copy 
of LDAP on the BDC to authenticate with if you have slow WAN links, etc.

the difference in smb.con is that the BDC's will have domain master = 
no, and wins server = ip of PDC and wins support = no, and if on a 
different subnet, local master = yes, if on same subnet, local master = no
