[Samba] DNS forwarding. WAS: disable automatic creation of computer accounts

[mj]

Hi Angel,

Not sure if this is what you are asking, but just to give you some feedback:

We have an internal dns resolver, that is provided to our internal 
clients through the dhcp.

This internal resolver uses external resolvers (9.9.9.9) for everything, 
except for the samba zone ad.company.com. For everything in that 
specific zone, it talks to our samba DCs.

Our product (sophos XG) called this "dns route" and it works for us.

Our clients never talk DNS (as fas as I know) directly to the samba DCs.
