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'.

This is my named.conf: # This DNS configuration is for BIND 9.8.0 or later with dlz_dlopen support. # # This file should be included in your main BIND configuration file # # For example with # include "/var/lib/samba/private/named.conf"; # # This configures dynamically loadable zones (DLZ) from AD schema # Uncomment only single database line, depending on your BIND version # dlz "AD DNS Zone" { # For BIND 9.8.0 database "dlopen /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/bind9/dlz_bind9.so"; # For BIND 9.9.0 # database "dlopen /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/bind9/dlz_bind9_9.so"; }; You will probably have to change the paths.

Rowland,
In a multi DC environment must all DC's run Bind that serve DNS? Is
it sufficient to just have the SOA run Bind? Thanks.
