First, I can confirm that the script works with the internal dns server, 
now tested.

From: 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Internal_DNS_Back_End#Limitations

The internal DNS does not support:

     acting as a caching resolver
     recursive queries
     shared-key transaction signature (TSIG)
     stub zones
     zone transfers
     Round Robin load balancing among DC's
