[Samba] samba4 AD with NATted clients

Hi,
We currently run all public ip's inside our network, DC's and
workstations too.
We are thinking perhaps to divide our network into a NATed workstations
segment, but keep our DC's and fileservers IPs public as they are now.
We are running sernet-samba, mainly win7 clients, using GPO's, shared
drives.
I did a quick test on a win7 workstation, put it in the NAT segment,
configured two DCs as DNS servers. Browsing the internet works, but any
samba/ad/cifs functionality is lost. (ssh from the NAT to the DC's also
works, so basic connectivity is there) It's just the active directory
that seems NOT to work.
Before looking further into this... is something like this supported?
Should it work at all? What problems can we expect, and how to solve them?
Is anyone doing this?
Regards,
MJ
