Did you realy provisioned with BIND flat file (not BIND_DLZ)?
Bind flat file isn't reccommented and there were thoughts in the past,
to remove it. That's why the Wiki HowTo only talks about BIND_DLZ and
the internal DNS.
You should move over to BIND_DLZ. It had never tried that, but I guess
it should work like the switch from internal DNS:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/DNS#Changing_from_Internal_DNS_to_BIND
Here you find information about how to setup BIND_DLZ:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Dns-backend_bind#Configuring_Bind_as_Samba_Active_Directory_backend

Yes.

You should try the switch over to BIND_DLZ first. And if you still have
problems, just come back to the list. :-)
