samba - Aug 2019 - Samba 4.10.7 question with external DNS Server

Hello Together
Please i have here a little company with any exisiting internal DNS Server 
"BIND 9.11.5-P4-5.1-Debian (Extended Support Version)
<id:998753c>"

Today i compilled the release Samba 4.10.7 successfully on any new machine 
here..... 

i read on Samba org the following News.
        - Do not use the BIND9_FLATFILE DNS back end. It is not supported 
and will be removed in the future

Please arn't possible to make any bind from AD to a exisiting DNS Server?

Best regards
Mauri

Sorry, but the future is nearly here, flatfiles will be formally 
deprecated when 4.11.0 is released and removed at 4.12.0

So, as you can see, you cannot use flatfiles with Samba, this means you 
have a couple of options, use the DC as the dns server for your domain, 
or use a subdomain for the Samba AD domain.

Why bother compiling Samba yourself, you can get the latest Samba debs 
from here: http://apt.van-belle.nl/

I think his question was. 

Is there a way to convert flatfile to samba-AD dns.  
As far i know, not, but that should be pretty easy to script.

Louis

If that is the case, then it should be easy to script the transfer of 
records, but I do not think that was what the OP asked about ;-)

Hi Maurizio,
two more options I used successfully myself (actually in combination):
- BIND9_DLZ DNS Back End allows to define non-AD-managed zones that are served
in parallel to AD managed zones
- bind dns_forwarder allows you to delegate what ever is not managed by bind on
DC to another DNS server (in my case a pi-hole).
Best Regards, Joachim

Samba does not support using an existing DNS server for the DNS of an
AD DC.  We need to be the DNS server, either via our plugin to BIND9 or
with our internal code.
