[Samba] switch from bind9_dlz to bind9 flate file

[L.P.H. van Belle]

I just looked at this bug report ( which is closed )  
>https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9559

so for only internal samba its fix but not with a windows server as master dns/ADDC + dhcp 
AND scavaging is enabled on the dns. 



Best regards, 

Louis
