On the basis of that discussion and other research, Kai and Metze started writing Samba4's own DNS server. Then tridge and the BIND folks got together, and given the excellent progress made, not reinventing this particular wheel seems to be the best way forward at the moment.

Or something to interface with it to provide what's missing. I'm sure it supports all of the record types.

[Samba] Seperate BIND server for Samba 4
Hello! I've set up samba 4 with great success since alpha12, but i've always used a locally installed version of BIND. Is it possible to use a seperate BIND server instead? I'd like to not run BIND on my file server. I have not seen any instructions to this effect, so perhaps someone would please point me in the correct direction? Thank You Very Much!! ++AMARU -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

This will need to be on a real DC. Certainly it is possible to run a distinct DNS server with BIND, but I don't recommend it. You would have to ensure that you copied all the correct files across, and updated the zone manually for the changed nameserver IPs etc. Samba4 should probably not be your file server at this stage, but if security is your worry then of course the AD DC is the heart of that.
