samba - Nov 2015 - attempting to administer DNS

Hi guys, I'm trying to add a jabber server to the network. It likes to use
the hostname "chat.idg.tn.us" so I want to add that to the DNS backend
of samba, so that my workstations which use the samba server for DNS can resolve
it.

I assume I need to add an entry that says "hostname exsists at this IP:
128.10.10.17" so i'm using the command "samba-tool dns add
128.10.10.16 chat.idg.tn.us demo A 128.10.10.17" but i get "UNCAUGHT
EXCEPTION: werr_dns_error_name_does_not_exist" what am i doing wrong?
