samba - Mar 2014 - small dns question

Hi list,

This weekend I'll be performing the samba3 -> samba4 tango :-)

Anyway: I'll be setting up two DC's, and would like to know if they can 
BOTH be a dns server for our AD domain, or if that 'role' is only for 
the 'primary' DC?
('primary' being to one who's sysvol is rsynced to the
'secondary')

Because if they both have all dns knowledge, and can be dns server, this 
would make the network much more robust. I could forward them to 
different resolvers also.

It's in the details, sometimes...

Thanks!

All of your domain controllers can indeed be DNS servers.  Keep in mind
that Samba doesn't yet do sysvol synchronization  between DCs.
