Trying to clean up a Samba domain that has existed forever.  And this  
issue seems to apply.  However the instructions are to run:

# samba-tool dns add SERVER DOMAIN WORKSTATION A IP -k yes
# samba-tool dns delete SERVER DOMAIN WORKSTATION A IP -k yes

... but what is the IP?

I have records like -

  I have records like -

   Name=PC03780, Records=0, Children=0
   Name=PC03781, Records=0, Children=0
   Name=PC03782, Records=0, Children=0

  - from
samba-tool dns query --password=****** larkin26 EXAMPLE.COM @ ALL

There is no IP address.  How can I delete these records using samba-tool?

[root at larkin26 ~]# samba-tool dns delete 127.0.0.1 EXAMPLE.COM pc0375 -k yes
Usage: samba-tool dns delete <server> <zone> <name>  
<A|AAAA|PTR|CNAME|NS|MX|SRV|TXT> <data>

IP is the machine address.
If you didn't notice, you are adding AND deleting the same system in a short
order, so IP doesn't really matters. It could be 127.0.0.2 for all that I
know.

You have to specify address. Any address.
