samba - Dec 2019 - Samba4 - DNS update from clients

Hi,


I have actually a samba4 domain with linux and windows workstations.

When I join them to the domain, a DNS record is successfully created but 
when a machine get a new/different IP address, DNS record is not updated.


We have an external (debian) iscp-dhcp server. Is it possible to update 
samba4's bind zone from this DHCP ?

Possibly, have you seen this:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_DHCP_to_update_DNS_records_with_BIND9

That is designed to be run on a Samba DC, but perhaps it can be altered 
to be run elsewhere.

If it does work, you will have to stop your Windows clients from trying 
to update their own records.
