This will work, but IIRC it requires changing the "primary DNS suffix" 
on all the clients (a reboot operation)? I must admit I don't know if 
the clients will instead a different domain returned in DHCP option 81.

There is also then the issue of the msDS-AllowedDNSSuffixes value on the 
domain container, if you want the AD objects to have correct dNSHostName 
value (although Samba seems to be able to update this just fine...)

Basically, Microsoft made this much harder than it needs to be (for 
obvious reasons)
