[Samba] multiple dns forwarders

[mourik jan heupink - merit]

Hi David, DNK, Rowland,

Thanks for your responses. I'm using the internal dns, as it seems 
simpler to setup. I understand now that this limits me to only one 
forwarder.

I'll think about switching to bind as a backend later, for now I'm 
trying to keep things simple. :-)
