Yes, I understand. samba_dnsupdate --verbose --all-names --use-samba-tool gave reasonable output. But samba_dnsupdate --verbose --all-names only just throws
; TSIG error with server: tsig verify failure
Failed nsupdate: 2
which look more serious.

Same errors I get with Samba internal DNS, so I don't think it is Bind related. Or maybe I can't understand you, sorry.

All DC have static IP configuration, but it's done by nmtui. I never had problem with this on many CentOS 7 server I manage.
I changed all DCs to point to itself first, than to others. And I also deleted domain search line, as you recommend.
