Description Michael Mol 2013-02-26 04:08:46 UTC
So I've created an AD domain with a samba4 domain, and I've joined a few machines to it. Samba4 is doing an OK job serving as a network DNS server[1], but it isn't providing a dynamically-updated reverse DNS zone. (If it's capable of this, I haven't yet found the documentation for it.)

It would be a very god thing for Samba4 to provide; for me, that's a major selling point in deploying it on my network.

domainlist for the sole DC reads:

  2 zone(s) found

[1] It's registering A records of joined hosts seemingly fine, but it's not registering their AAAA records. But that's something I'm still looking into.

You need to create reverse records using either samba-tool dns or the DNS MMC tool from windows. This is just like in Microsoft's DNS server, and not a bug.
If there is a problem registering IPv6 records, please file a bug for that providing a network trace of the update failing.
Thank you.

for v6 records, see bug 14044
