[Samba] reverse DNS not working for some reason ...

[Mueller]

If bind , bind_dlz then in fact you should create you reverse dns before you
join any windows pc.
Normally if all your settings are right the windows clients do there job and
register as they should.
In most cases if they will not it is usefull to restart bind and then it
will do.
On your windows 10  clients if they will not do  -->  open cmd as admin
than: ipconfig /registerdns , restart.
With your linux clients (samba 4 member server? They should be registered
after joining) not in your domain
you have to do everything by hand.

What do I do for my linux domain members?

Also, I just checked on my domain bound W10 machine. Under

    Adapter Properties -> Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) -> Advanced
-> DNS Tab

    "Register this connector's addresses in DNS" is checked, but no go on
the reverse search:

root at samba-dc:~# host 192.168.1.83
Host 83.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

If nothing uses the reverse search, I'm not going to worry about it.
