samba - Apr 2013 - samba 3 acting as a samba 4 bdc

Hello

I have a fileserver with samba 3.6.9 in a remote location, i have a few users
there (4) but the network connectivity is not good, so i'm trying to setup
some kind of validation cache, i have samba 4 on my main office, can i setup the
fileserver to act as a bdc for the samba 4 or is not possible?

Thanks in advance

Only if both are 'classic' domain controllers backed by OpenLDAP.  If
you want to have an AD DC, then both must run Samba 4.0. 

You can run a Read Only DC at the remote site if you so desire.
