No, I was just checking if you where something you shouldn't, like
creating the zone files in the Bind configs.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong in any of your conf files, the
only other thing I can think of is, is Avahi running on the new DC ?
and this only applies if your TLD is '.local'

I know that 4.7.5 will join to a Samba AD DC, but this is with Debian.
