[Samba] Samba4 Internal DNS - CNAME not working

[Thomas Simmons]

Hello,

It seems Samba4 is having problems with CNAME records. I am seeing the same
behavior as mentioned in the thread below. Is there any ETA on a fix for
this? This is identical to the problem with MX records. This is currently a
much bigger problem than the MX records. I appreciate any assistance.

[root at DC1 var]# dig autodiscover.testdom.com CNAME

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.10.rc1.el6_3.6 <<>>
autodiscover.testdom.com CNAME
