Right, and BIND_DLZ works just as it has all along if you make the
appropriate change in the smb.conf as documented in the release notes -
I'm still running BIND_DLZ here with RC1 just fine. I was just observing
that I believe now people are going to have to make a choice - use the
internal DNS server and the associated GUI admin-kit tools, or keep using
BIND by disabling the internal server as shown in the release notes.

I'm going to play around with moving my zones to the internal server over
the weekend. Should be fun. But I'm a massochist like that.
