[Samba] dnsbackend options question

[Craig Cigas]

Ryan,

Fair observation. What I didn't mention is this is a legacy forest that 
began life at the Win2k mixed functional level so there's lots of 
accumulated fluff that's making life difficult. I was just exploring the 
alternatives.

Somewhere in active directory is a reference to a local subnet we 
decommissioned probably 7 or 8 years ago. BIND on the joined as dc Samba box 
loads all the valid zones just fine then dies when it tried to process the 
broken subnet records.

Well, it may just be me, but from my perspective that is more complex.
Think about what you're saying. "Should I setup just BIND or BIND and
Samba DNS?". Your plan should work, but it is more complex that just
using BIND with Samba. All of the domains that I manage use Samba and
BIND9. None use the internal DNS.
