[Samba] Dynamic Updates to Bind DLZ through DHCP have repeated errors in syslog

[ralph strebbing]

Thanks for the advice Rowland, we're now running Samba 4.13.3, and I've
updated the script with the one you've provided. The problem I'm running
into now is when a client get a DHCP lease, it adds it to DNS, and then we
create a static mapping after the fact for a different IP (This is common
here especially while testing some server VMs that eventually go into
production on a different more permanent subnet); The script runs to
release the existing record in DNS, but fails because it can't find the
record (See log snippet below).

Similarly, when the add function is run afterwards to add the new entry,
we're left with 2 separate records in DNS for the same hostname with
different IP addresses.

It's also worth noting that no matter what so far, when the script adds new
records, it does seem to add them correctly, but the reverse DNS portions
of the script aren't running, or something weird is happening on the
backend because there is no result code for those that are being returned
(hence the Update Failed: 0:0::) message. Got any suggestion for what I may
be missing on my end for that one?

Thanks Again!
Ralph
