[Samba] multiple dns forwarders

Hi,

To make our AD more robust, I'd like to provide more than one dns 
forwarder, like for example:

dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

However, this seems to break dns resolution completely (and without 
logging errors in the logs!):

# Host test.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

With only one forwarder things work:

$ test.com has address 208.64.121.161

Am I really allowed to specify only one forwarder? And if I really 
cannot enter two ip's, should samba not log an error?

Regards,
MJ
