[Samba] Successes an failures with Samba 4.3.9 and FreeBSD-10.3

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

OK.  Here's an update.  Since I got the IDMAP stuff working, I decided to
join my other home FreeBSD server into the 'forest' ... urgh... metaphors
in this space grind a little... but when I did the samba-tool join, it
succeeded ... save the DNS was not updated.  So I tried manually... and
it's still wrong.

Joined domain HOME (SID S-1-5-21-3505373935-2275348003-3197909400) as a DC
[2:39:339]root at strike:/usr/local/etc> samba-tool dns add VR HOME.XXX.YY
STRIKE A 192.168.0.1 -Uadministrator
Password for [HOME\administrator]:
Record added successfully
[2:40:340]root at strike:/usr/local/etc> samba-tool dns add VR HOME.XXX.YY
STRIKE A 192.168.0.1 -Uadministrator
Password for [HOME\administrator]:
ERROR: Record already exists
[2:41:341]root at strike:/usr/local/etc> host strike.home.XXX.YY
Host strike.home.xxx.yy not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Further as I try to debug this, I did samba_upgradedns
--dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL ... which passed and then:

[2:69:369]root at strike:/usr/local/etc> samba_upgradedns
--dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ
