The server is a Windows AD server, which is responsible for the
ad.example.com subdomain. (The example.com domain is served by a BIND
server, which the AD server queries for domains other than ad.example.com).

I use 'net ads join' on Samba v3 servers when joining them to a Windows AD
server. (Admittedly it doesn't update the DNS entries for the Samba v3
machines on the AD server either). Am I doing something wrong?
