Steve, if you download the RC1 from 
http://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/rc/samba-4.0.0rc1.tar.gz
compile it as usual and then provision, but with the new style provision:

samba-tool domain provision --realm=<your realm> --domain=<YOURDOMAIN> 
--adminpass=<pass> --use-rfc2307 --server-role=dc

You will end up using the internal dns server, this puts a forwarder 
into smb.conf and works provided that you put the servers ipaddress into 
/etc/resolv.conf not 127.0.0.1
