Hello Mike,

I think I'm facing the very same problem with Samba 4.1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04.1.

Master = ubuntu-ad-1.realm.domain.com
IP = 192.168.0.10
DNS NS entry = yes

Joined "ubuntu-ad-2" into "*.realm.domain.com", as a secondary DC, it did
not have a NS entry.

Joined "ubuntu-ad-3" into "*.realm.domain.com", as a secondary DC, it did
not have a NS entry.

The command "host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.realm.domain.com" shows all
Domain Controllers but, the command "dig @192.168.0.10 realm.domain.com"
does not show "ubuntu-ad-2 | 3" under "AUTHORITY SECTION".

Weird is that, later, to test, I joined a W2K8 R2 "win-ad-1", as a
secondary DC (using dcpromo, with Global Catalog, DNS Server and etc), and
it appeared as a NS for the domain(s)! After a few errors...
"win-ad-1" becomes authoritative but ubuntu-ad-2|3 doesn't.

Regular Domain Members (smbd fileservers, desktops) and its DNS entries are
working just fine, including support for Disjoint Namespaces and reverse
DNS, for both IPv4 and IPv6.
