Hi, I set up Samba DCs for two sites. The first site is for example domain.ourdomain.com, the second is site2.ourdomain.com. On the first site, there will be 2 DCs, and one fileserver, on the second site there will be one DC, and it will act as fileserver too. Is it true that Samba's internal dns server won't good for that, and I need Bind, because of Bind's zone transfer feature?
