How many times do I have to tell you, Samba must be authoritative for
the DNS domain, if you use Bind9, you must also use BIND_DLZ and no
flatfiles. The domain DNS zones must be in AD.

I know, what I am trying to do, is demote each Domain Controller one at 
a time. then re-promote it with --dns-backend=Bind_dlz.

I have all my bind servers with chroot switched off. but when I activate 
the Bind Dlz AD Zone, Bind crashes saying there are no records in the 
zone. Hence the demotion/promotion thing,.

The failure of Bind here prevents me from even demoting the DCs 
correctly to begin with.
