OK, solved that problem. nsupdate worked, even if samba_dnsupdate did not.

New problem:
Lots of entries like this in the log:
[2013/04/09 22:25:39.559029,  2] 
../source3/smbd/server.c:436(remove_child_pid)
   Could not find child 15172 -- ignoring
[2013/04/09 22:26:39.613172,  2] 
../source3/smbd/server.c:436(remove_child_pid)
   Could not find child 15175 -- ignoring

I see a bug that describes this problem, but it is marked as fixed since 
June 2011.
