What you need to do is setup your samba4 machine as the PDC, in my 
opinion this entails storing the primary domain records on the PDC, you 
would then join the other machine (the one you call external OpenLDAP) 
to it, not the other way round.

Get the domain working first, then add the other parts to it, you may 
then find that it is better to transfer the 'external OpenLDAP' role to 
your PDC.
