Hi

Sorry.
GIT-0971a4e
No. dig and host are lost. Any connected clients have to be rebooted. 
This happens after s4 issues a dns update (The one it does periodically. 
The one where it does DNS and SPN updates every 10 mins or so). 
Afterwards, trying manual samba_dnsupdate does not finish. It just sits 
there. The only way we can get back up clients is to restart s4 and 
reboot them:-( The rest of the server works OK. We are able to restart 
s4 fine. This also is the case after a total cold start. The first few 
DNS updates work OK.

We have a few (valuable!) days for testing so have gone back to bind for 
the moment but we can do a clean install with the internal dns in a 
couple of hours if we can help test anything. Please tell us if we can 
help in that way.

Cheers,
Steve
