Well spotted Rowland!

Yes, I've checked the code (the exact line number is in the backtrace)
and it is hard-coded to assume the new record will be in the
DomainDnsZones.  It should try ForestDnsZones if the first search
throws a WERR_DNS_ERROR_RCODE_NAME_ERROR.

Claudio,

If you dare, you could try and patch the code yourself.

Sorry for all the drama here!
