[Samba] Domain DFS on new share

[Mueller]

Since  past the beta-times of samba 4  (and it worked in former times!!) it never worked like this: \\yourdomain\share or \\yourdomain \dfs-share.
The only thing working along witch your domain is: \\yourdomain\netlogon.

I had another thread open on this case some times ago.
