If you look here:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_BIND_as_backend_for_Samba_AD

Under the heading 'Introduction', is this line:

Since the BIND DLZ module accesses the AD database directly, BIND for AD 
zones must be on the same machine.

I thought this was pretty specific, but I will change it slightly to:

Since the BIND DLZ module accesses the AD database directly, Bind9 must 
be run on the same machine as the Samba 4 AD DC.
