How to get active directory dependencies properly modeled in the CSDM?

'Active Directory Services' are used to provide 'DNS domain services', 'Domain controllers' can be grouped by a "Mapped Application Service", we are agreeing on the rule that what we call "Criticality" is inherited or cascaded from the "Business Service Offering", in case of active directory, this means that our CI's connected 'prod.domain' have a dependency on the 'prod.domain AD' Mapped App Service, I was thinking of using a "Dynamic CI Group" to find the different CI's registered on the domain in question which is fine, but how do I model the "dependency" of that group of CI's on the 'prod.domain AD' "Mapped Application Service"?

 

The names I use are fake of course but the problem statement is important for regulatory requirements, my use of AD components might be a bit off, but the principle remains the same.

 

Any help, comment is very welcome.
