It has been some time since I used Ubuntu 14.04, but I am fairly
positive that the version of Bind9 that comes with 14.04 works with
Samba.

Don't do that (too late now though), you could clobber your version of
Samba if somehow Samba gets installed with apt-get or an update.

As I said, you wouldn't be having this problem if you had compiled
Samba as shown on the Samba wiki or had created your own deb packages
(or used Louis packages).
You now need to identify just which libwbclient client the complile
created and use this.
