Patch to samba_dnsupdate to support net ads dns register in self-test

[Garming Sam]

Hi Rowland,

I think the patches you are referencing have made it into master. If I 
have a chance, I might take a look at the SOA behaviour in the internal 
DNS. It could be trivial to fix, in which case I may try to do that.

Cheers,

Garming
