Samba4 DNS Updates - Linux Clients - Is it possible?

[Aaron E.]

Does doing it this way essentially have two entries in dns then?
example.. I setup bind and samba4 and include the provisioned bind files 
in my config.. I also have bind recording from DHCP to db.xxxx, for the 
windows pc's does the entry get recoreded in two different places? AD 
DNS and also bind DNS? It seems as though I would have to have two zones 
that are the same in bind.. not sure how that would work..
Or .. Could I not include the provisioned files and configure bind with 
the proper required AD entries

Please excuse my ignorance also !!
