[Samba] Does automatic DNS PTR generation in Samba4 AD DC work at all?

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Thank for the link steve, but im abandon-ing windows because of a MS licencing change. 

I've read your site several times, good info, thank you for this.  

The tip of putting the reverse on the other server is a good tip. 
didnt think about this...  looking in to it. 

Thanks !! 

Louis
