I'm using 4.15.1

See my email earlier today demonstrating the issue, which I observed 
yesterday but couldn't test again then because I didn't know about 
`samba-tool dns` which, btw, works great (good design!) save for the 
unexplained "options" thing and the inexplicable data requirement for 
deleting a record.
