When you join a new DC to a domain (doesn't matter whether it is a Samba 
or Windows AD domain), there isn't a forwarders line set in smb.conf, 
you have to add it manually. You can do this two ways, either by editing 
the smb.conf file created by the join, or by adding --option='dns 
forwarder = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' to the join command. Transferring the FSMO 
roles will have no effect on the smb.conf
