[Samba] named ( bind 9.9.4 ) fails to start

[Maton, Brett]

Hi Rowland thanks for your response.

I'm running samba 4.5.0rc1 on CentOS 7.2

I've dumped the DNS records, and it doesn't appear to have any SRV or NS
records.

Also the SOA record is pointing at the wrong server dc03 instead of dc01.

I'm pretty sure it can be fixed, but I don't know how or what to do
