[Samba] Authentication to Secondary Domain Controller initially fails when PDC is offline

Hai, 

Ah, ok, wel, yeah, i was missing the NS on the SOA. 

This is imo a bug, i dont know it this is by design for samba, 
so maybe a samba dev can answere this since every joined DC should have a NS
record on the SOA as far as i know, but thats my opinion and i can be wrong
here.


Greetz,

When I can figure how to get into the new GitHub setup, I will be 
proposing a patch for this, it just needs three line adding to 
dns_update_list.

If anybody is interested, this is the results of my testing, first here 
are the results of adding an NS record to the dns domain SOA record for 
the second DC on a domain using the internal dns server:

As you can see, even though each DC is using the other DC as its 
nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, they both return the same info, now 
compare that with the info from a domain that uses bind9 as the dns server:

You get a lot more info and each DC is show as being authoritative for 
the dns domain

Now, I am no expert when it comes to dns, but using bind9 looks a better 
idea to me :-)
