Thanks!  These look good, I just have a few issues with the order, and
would like whatever is breaking nsupdate against our DC fixed before
this goes in.

In terms of ordering, I would like 

[PATCH 27/31] selftest: Always enable dns fakeing

to go away, and 
[PATCH 25/31] selftest: Add support for dns faking in Samba4 target

to go in before the hooks for dns_host_files go out.  That should keep
make test bisectable.  That is, please ensure a simple DNS-using test
keeping working on every commit, where practical. 

I'm really glad to see my dns_hosts_file hack go away, and this is
really impressive work.

Otherwise I'm happy, and I'll review/push the rwrap import now, and the
selftest changes after we go another round. 

Thanks!
