[Samba] Internal DNS logging

[John Gardeniers]

Thanks James,

I'll give that a try. Although we are already rolling Samba 4 out to our 
users I find I'm getting ever more frustrated by it's shortcomings and 
incomplete features, especially around DNS. The lack of any DNS specific 
logging must be considered an incredible oversight, to put it mildly.

regards,
John
