Perhaps.  We have a working step that looks like this:

dnscache->sambsdns->dnscache.forwarder.

The initial dnscache instance provides primary DNS to the LAN, deligating
the samba domain zone to samba dns, and as appropriate to the
dnscache.forwarder instance for resolving DNS.

We are throwing around the idea of trying out BIND so we've covered all of
the bases from a testing standpoint, but for our purposed it probably isn't
needed.

It's a pitty the Samba team didn't look at dnscache/tinydns instead of
dnsmasq when they were looking to build a DNS backend for Samba.
 dnscache/tinydns are very solid, lightweight, and simple.   They would
have provided the DNS functions Samba needed with a footprint similar to
dnsmasq.  BIND could have been left completely out of the picture.
