There is a way to have both a local database and access a remote database 
using the same API, if we want it. Andrew Tridgell (aka Mr Samba) proposed 
using the LDB API as a configuration backend. LDB, for those not tracking 
Samba4, is the way they are going to do ActiveDirectory support. So instead 
of using OpenLDAP (which is a pain to set up and get working with Samba3), 
there is a lightweight built in API. It normally talks to a TDB database - 
just mmap()ed in for speed and convenience - but can talk to ldapi and maybe 
ldap over the wire.

Tridge is keen to see this happen.
