According to Rolf Schmidt (the Novell guy that prepared the
SLES11-HA+CTDB paper/presentation), people from development department
replied it was not possible:

"Got feedback. They say no no no. With capitals, so in the Mail it
read NO NO NO. Well I did not know this myself so I learned something
new myself. It is not possible to use ctdb in this way. Only as a
Domain Member. But not as any kind of DC."

It's interesting to know that someone has done it already, I'll test
it as soon as I get free time. Any notes about that implementation?
