[Samba] Does Samba 4 create PTR RRs automatically?
Hi, I've noticed that computers that join a Samba 4 AD domain are automatically added to the DNS zone. I.e., if my domain is "customer.com", the computer "DESKTOP01" would appear as "DESKTOP01.pontegadea.com". What I didn't expect was that PTR records were automatically created, too: if "DESKTOP01" has the IP 10.10.1.100, and I do a "host 10.10.1.100", the name "DESKTOP01.pontegadea.com" is returned. This is fine and dandy, but poses a problem: if I create the reverse zone 10.10.in-addr.arpa, the PTR entries disappear. But if I want to create PTR entries for computers with static IPs, I need to create this zone. So, what's the recommended way of having both the automatically added PTRs for computers joining the domain and other PTRs added by hand?
