Hello,
Looking to switch to Bind. Currently using Ubuntu 12.04 with Samba
4.1.13 compiled from tar. I'm a little confused on creating the
localhost zone file section. Do I replace 'localhost' with the IP
address of my Samba DC or do I really use the localhost address? This
same question applies to the '0.0.127.in.addr.arpa' zone file. I guess
I'm having a hard time understanding where I enter my actual zone name
of my domain. If I need to clarify further please advise. Thanks.

Did you compile with --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ ???
Than you do not need to bother about your local host zone.
Just get samba4 and bind work together like in the HOWTOs.

Hi Daniel,
I did not unfortunately. Have always used the internal DNS since 4.0.

Rowland,
Thanks for the reply. I believe you're right. It appears the zone
information is retrieved from '/usr/local/samba/private/named.conf'?
Correct? I notice I do not have 'named.conf'. I have
'named.conf.update'.
