Funny (or nasty) thing is that with bind the samba-tool updates go ok but I never got
the client updates working, and with internal DNS it appears to be the other way around.
I see some postings that say "ignore that error it works OK" but it does not appear to
correct my DNS setup.  I.e. the DNS queries do return the correct data but also the one
I mentioned does return old data.  No idea if the dnsupdate command is supposed to
delete wrong data or will only add valid data.

However, what I find disturbing is that the returns from the DNS queries are not
consistent with the view from the management tools.   What can that be?
Is there a way to dump the entire database in a readable form?

yes I think I got that correct, I deleted all references to the old DC from AD using ADexplorer.
(at all places where there were two references, one to the old and one to the new DC)
