Well, network connectivity to the other DC would probably also be required... and I don't have that currently... so there's the first hurdle... but thanks for confirming that there's no other configuration required.
I'm slightly surprised that the smb.conf does not require the full realm name like "DOMAIN2.LOCAL" somewhere in there.
