I'd guess the easiest way would be to setup the Samba AD domain as a
subdomain of the existing DNS domain. Say
"samba.third-level.somedomain.com"
Then for queries for "samba.third-level.somedomain.com" the exiting
DNS server could forward them to the Samba AD running the
Internal_Samba_DNS, and for queries outside
"samba.third-level.somedomain.com" the Samba4 AD could send them to
the existing DNS server.
The Samba AD must have it's own DNS, either the Samba_Internal or
Bind9_DLZ.
[I've not heard of anyone doing a Samba4 setup with DNS completely
external to the Samba4 AD hardware, though perhaps it's possible - but
I'd guess one would be better off partitioning the two - DNS related
to the Samba domain and DNS outside of it.)
HTH - I'm no expert, but that's the way I've seen it done [and done it
myself] and that seems the most straight-forward to my way of thinking.
