Samba 4.0.0beta4, CentOS 6.3.
It seems to me that when samba updates its DNS entries by processing a
dns_update_list entry such as:
A ${DNSDOMAIN} $IP
then:
(1) it is using the Kerberos realm name for DNSDOMAIN rather than the DNS
domain name. Indeed, it seems to me that there is quite a bit of confusion
between the two throughout Samba4.
(2) when a second or third DC is added, the value for $IP inserted in the
second or third DNS is the IP address of the first DC, not that of the
second or third. Huh?
I would _like_ the realm name and the DNS domain name to be the same, but
it appears that one cannot do that: bind9 will no longer start, as I
observed and reported previously.
