Samba 4 IP change

[BlackPenguin ADMIN]

Hi again,

After adjusting the fireall, I can get dnsmgmt.msc to run and it 
connects to the DNS, so that's good. Just to make it clear, I never 
administered a Windows server, therefore this is new for me. I have a 
forward lookup zone and a reverse lookup zone. In the forward zone I 
have pdc.blackpenguin.org and _msdcs.pdc.blackpenguin.org. Do you have 
to add new foward zones and reverese zones, then remove the previous 
ones? Is there a step-by-step instruction, so I get it right? What is 
the _msdcs thing?
