Do mean under the heading 'Testing/Debugging dynamic DNS update' ??

That command doesn't populate anything!

What network are your AD clients on '192.168.0.x', 192.168.122.x' or 
'172.16.0.1' ?

I take it from the above, that your clients are on the '192.168.0.0/24' 
network. Adding the lines you referred to, just makes samba connecting 
only to the interfaces that you have specified, also the records were 
added at provision not by the samba_dnsupdate command.
