samba - Feb 2013 - samba4 AD DC & manually creating DNS records?

I'm trying to use a DNS server independent from Samba (non BIND, on a
different machine/system).

Beyond the two simple records of:

SRV _ldap._tcp.samdom.example.com
and
SRV _kerberos._udp.samdom.example.com


If I maintain all the A records for individual hosts (& the
server.samdom.example.com machine), should that work?

Are there any other special / SRV records that Samba4's internal DNS
server is providing?


Thanks,
Nick

I think you need more than those two entries.  There is a file on my
system that I think contains all the required entries: 

/usr/local/samba/share/setup/provision.zone

I would suggest that would be a starting point.

Please, please do not do this.  It will only cause trouble.

Instead, have your independent DNS server forward the Samba zone to
Samba, where you can handle it with either the internal DNS server, or
bind9 using the dlz module.
