[Samba] NTLM auth, better on a DC or on a DM?

This is not a stupid question!

We have sveral squid proxy with ntlm_auth running. Ntlm_auth works only 
on a Domain Member Server and not on a PDC, BDC or DC.

If for any reason you MUST run it on a PDC/BDC you must start the winbindd 
with an own smb.conf (i.e. winbindd -s /etc/samba/winbind.conf).

So all winbind related settings MUST be done in winbind.conf. Only one 
winbind instance CAN run on a server.

I do not know if this is possible on an AD DC. I have never tried it.
