This worked perfectly fine in the past (e.g. "nslookup printer" returned the IP address of my printer). After adding the following line in /etc/named.conf according to the HOWTO:

I'm no expert but I also had problems with the dns updates. I added the 
line:

  tkey-gssapi-keytab "/usr/local/samba/private/dns.keytab";

to the options{} section of /etc/named.conf and all was well. There is 
some named:named ownership stuff to do for that keytab and the dns 
folder in the same directory. Not on the lan at the moment but I think 
it's explained in named.txt, also in the /private directory.
