Give the clients in this site a connection specific DNS suffix of
newberg.ent.samson.org, then check the "Use this connection's DNS suffix in
DNS registration". BTW, DHCP option 015 will assign the connection DNS
suffix.
Also, you will need to delegate the name newberg, in the ent.samson.org zone
to the servers with the full newberg.ent.samson.org zone, so that it will be
seamless throughout the enterprise.
