Yes, it does. Thanks.

But the new entry is only available, after restarting samba:

# samba-tool dns add 192.168.29.2 muc.medizinische-genetik.de marc9 A 
192.168.29.70 -Uadministrator
Password for [MUC\administrator]:
Record added successfully

# host -t A marc9.muc.medizinische-genetik.de.
Host marc9.muc.medizinische-genetik.de. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

# /etc/init.d/rc.samba4 restart
Shutting down samba4:                                      [  OK  ]
Starting samba4:                                           [  OK  ]

# host -t A marc9.muc.medizinische-genetik.de.
marc9.muc.medizinische-genetik.de has address 192.168.29.70





Is there a special reason, why hardlinks are used and not softlinks? Softlinks 
seem to be easier when copying across filesystems.
