hm, not really:

root at linuxclient:~# net ads dns register -P
Successfully registered hostname with DNS
root at linuxclient:~# nslookup linuxclient
Server:		192.168.56.10
Address:	192.168.56.10#53

Name:	linuxclient.samdom.example.com
Address: 192.168.56.12

root at linuxclient:~# nslookup 192.168.56.12
Server:		192.168.56.10
Address:	192.168.56.10#53

** server can't find 12.56.168.192.in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAIN

Reverse Zone has just been created using the following command:
samba-tool dns zonecreate sambadc 56.168.192.in-addr.arpa

Looking at the reverse zone using mmc.exe on the windows client I can not
see any entry either.

As before. Manually adding reverse dns entries to this zone still works fine.
