I'm sorry to jump in the middle, just had some work given to me and I'm looking at docs and clearly in need of a primmer, that perhaps you can point me to.
What I was told was that we need to use the samba 4 backend DNS or enable DLZ, dynamically loaded zones, in our DNS server. I haven't yet run across anything that says that the Samba server used as a domain controller, will dynamically generate new DNS records (but its a believable issue), which would make the case for dynamic DNS. But I can't seem to find a reason why dynamically loaded zones would be useful, particularly if the samba server is on a different platform than the DNS server, and I presume unable to affect the data repository that would be dynamically loaded (I guess client/server SQL, but I haven't found any such reference). Will a samba DC generate new content for DNS? Assuming that the data created by the SAMBA dc is available to DNS, I could see the need to reload the zone, or have the records load dynamically, and I guess DLZ will do that. Is that what we are looking to achieve? thanks, and sorry, will change the subjecton the thread, don't want to hijack it.
