[Samba] DNS Scavenging in Samba AD

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

For now, disable this, its to me unclear what the current status is. 
Especialy on older zones. Which i also have, i've just checked this on my production env and straigt away also a crash. 

I've ask for a small update on bug #12451 

If more people want to use this and test this, yes please. 
Mail back : Samba version, and age of zones would be good info. 

log level 10 also, enable it, log it, backup the log so if needs we can request it. 


Greetz, 

Louis
