[Samba] Samba and LDAP Server

[David Roid]

Hello Lantukh,

Domain controller, LDAP server and kdc can be found by DNS, Samba consults
DNS server to find them. Therefore DNS server itself can be a single-point.
I'm guessing your myserver1 is used as the DNS server in this case and when
it's down you are in trouble.

Cheers
