[Samba] reslov.conf on two DC's

[Bob of Donelson Trophy]

As a general user, I am going to adopt this as basic practice from now
on. And yes, please keep the wiki current. 

(From all the reading I have done, this "criss-cross" makes sense in a
two DC environment. For three or more DC's, then "circular." Being a
novice, I asked the experts here for their thoughts. Thanks.)

 I use bind9 (I think that there are too many problems with the internal
server to make it usable) When I set search example.com nameserver <the
other DC> on both the DCs, DNS became virtually unusable everywhere, I
tried various other permutations, but the only one that works for me
(YMMV) on the DCs is search example.com nameserver 127.0.0.1 Rowland --
