[Samba] Can one Samba 4 server provide an entire forest?

[Juan Castro]

I successfully set up an AD domain controller for domain CORP.COMPANY.COM.
Is it possible to have SALES.CORP.COMPANY.COM and TECH.CORP.COMPANY.COM,
each with its own users, by using only that one Samba server? Or do I have
to set up a separate Samba server for each of those two domains, and have
each of them join the existing domain?

You'd best set up child domains on their own DC's. Since Active Directory
doesn't support multiple domains per DC.

As Microsoft itself discourage to use trust relationships if not _really_
needed (security reasons), as Samba should be able to perform only
bi-directional and transitive relationship (the most open, not usable for
security reason), as, if I understood global catalog in Samba correctly,
relationship needs a global catalog which would receive most objects from
every trusted domain (so relationship can't be used to avoid 4GB DB size
limitation), why using relationship?
