samba - Feb 2013 - LDAP recommendations please

Currently I have a samba 3 domain setup with an LDAP backend. It's been very
convenient and fault tolerant for me to put read-only replicas of the ldap
database on all servers that use LDAP authentication. I'd like to keep doing
that after switching to samba 4. Can that be done?

Yes, it can.  However, it will remain a 'classic' domain controller, and
not be an AD domain controller.

Upgrading to AD requires that you use our internal LDAP backend.
