How to get DNS replication working properly?

[Juan Pablo Lorier]

Hi Andrew,

First my apologies for I found I was not using samba-tool right at 
demoting (saw the same error in the list).
I demoted both servers and rejoined them. I see that there are many 
lines in the replication that shows linked-values=0, I don't know if 
this is right.

Does samba-tool remove the partitions at demoting time? or should I 
remove them myself?
As there's still little documentation on how to use the commands, I 
still try to figure out how to configure samba and BIND to work together.
If I run samba_upgradedns I get this on both servers:

Reading domain information

Looking up IPv6 addresses
DNS accounts already exist
No zone file /usr/local/samba/private/dns/montecarlotv.com.uy.zone

_ldb.LdbError: (53, '../source4/dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/ridalloc.c:494: 
No RID Set DN - Remote RID Set allocation needs refresh')


Why samba tries to use that zone file instead of bind ones, and not only 
it doesn't create the file automatically, but also, if I create it at 
the update it deletes it.
I'll keep trying, any help is welcome :-)
