well, that are still SOA records with one nameserver

that each server lists the other one as SOA is a different story and my 
whole point was the the SOA itself can not have 2 nameservers which is 
unchanged

Well yes, but each DC uses the other DC to get zone records, i.e. 
/etc/resolv.conf on the first DC is this:

search samdom.example.com
nameserver 192.168.0.6    # <-- second DC ipaddress
nameserver 192.168.0.5    # <-- this DC ipaddress

and on the second DC:

search samdom.example.com
nameserver 192.168.0.5    # <-- first DC ipaddress
nameserver 192.168.0.6    # <-- this DC ipaddress

Each DC is reporting that the other DC is authoritative for the zone, 
there is only *one* SOA record in AD and this contains the NS records 
for both DCs

So while the SOA reports only one nameserver, it is a different one 
depending on which DC you ask, therefore whilst the Bind dns server 
works like the windows dns server, the internal dns server does not. If 
you use the internal dns server, from my testing, it will only report 
one NS record, even if you have added the NS record for the second DC to 
the SOA.
