hi Björn,
I appreciate the thought you are putting into this, as UI decisions are
hard to change.

I think that is probably OK. Another option might be
--dns-replication-scope, which might describe the effect more. It all
depends on how AD administrators think, something which I have little
insight into.
In any case, in https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/merge_requests/3129
you have the --help text as 'DNS Directory Partition', which does not
add much information to --dns-directory-partition. Whichever formulation
is used, the help should use other words.
cheers,
Douglas
