As far as I am aware, the bind9 server has to be running on the DC if 
you want to use bind_dlz. This is because the DNS zones are stored in AD.

I would suggest you create a sub domain of your main domain (this is 
recommended anyway) i.e. if your main domain is called 'company.com', 
create a sub domain called 'samba.company.com'. Use the sub domain for 
your AD domain and forward anything outside the sub domain to your main 
DNS servers.
