Hi experts ,

Is it possible to have automated population of Reverse PTR  on Samba 
4.4.5 integrated with Bind 9.9.4 ? I have tried creating the Reverse 
zone too . When a client ( windows ) joins the SAMBA domain the forward 
lookup is populated with correct host-name and present IP , but reverse 
zone does not have any entry . Although I can create reverse PTR manually .

Kindly help me with this query

Attaching named.conf for reference.

TIA

Regards

Biswajit Banerjee
