[Samba] Samba 4 DNS name Planing

[Chan Min Wai]

Dear Nicolas,

You will have issue,,,
because you Samba AD need to take over "domain.tld"
which is also by you external DNS host.

Make life simple.
Make your AD server FQDN as such

samba01.hq01.domain.tld

So you have your own sub domain which is under your private/internal
control and also workable over VPN.
