samba - May 2013 - DNS Problems with Samba4.0.5

Hi all,

Here's my problem : after installing and setting up samba 4 on a Ubuntu
server 13.04, everything is ok : samba is working, I can connect ; kerberos is
ok also.
BUT !!!
I have a problem with dns forwarding.
Here's my settings : in samba domain provision, i select 10.10.70.10 (i.e.
my samba server) as dns forwarder (we have a firewall, but it's not set as
DNS forwarder)
I change the resolv.conf file to the following : search XX.X ; domain XX.X ;
nameserver 10.10.70.10 ; nameserver 8.8.8.8

What am I doing wrong...? I think it's just a small issue, but can't
find it.

Thanks,

Thierry

Do I understand your problem right: You set your samba host as 
forwarder? Then this is the issue.

Set 'dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8' in your smb.conf (+ restart) and put 
'nameserver 10.10.70.10' in your /etc/resolv.conf.

'dns forwarder' lists the DNS servers, where requests are send to, the 
samba server can't answer from it's own zones.
