samba - Oct 2016 - Best Practices: Samba AD with multiple DCs/BIND9 DNS servers

Hello,

I have been having trouble locating information regarding how to setup
multiple BIND DNS servers in a Samba AD environment.  If I'm deploying
Samba as an AD controller using BIND as the DNS backend and also deploy
secondary and/or tertiary Samba domain controllers, what is the proper
approach to configure BIND on the additional DCs?  If someone could please
point me towards documentation I may have missed or provide some insight on
the subject I'd greatly appreciate it.

Kind Regards,

JS

Three days and no response...

When running samba as an active directory controller with bind as the Dns
server and adding a secondary domain controller I have installed bind on it
as well.  The wiki's basic bind configuration creates a single master bind
server with no replication so I've got two master servers and no
replication...

Could someone please clarify how bind is supposed to be configured with
multiple ad controllers?

Regards,

JS

The part I don't understand is 'with no replication'.
How have you setup Bind ?
What version ?

The AD DNS zones are stored within the directory and thus Samba
replicates the content, not BIND.
