[Samba] ipv6 with Samba-AD-DC?

[Olivier MARTIN]

Hi all,

I sent an email on the mailing-list a couple of month ago about IPv6: 
https://www.spinics.net/lists/samba/msg180986.html
What I found when I tried was that there was no AAAA records for the 
AC-DC in the DNS.
I do not know if it is a general problem or whether it is was something 
in my configuration.

Olivier
