Hi Rowland,

thanks for the response. I guess, I did not clarify enough.
Of Course I do have a the AD zone setup and managed by the DCs. I am 
talking about additional external zones not governed by the AD.

So I do have
ad.domain.toplevel
setup and managed by samba

I was talking about an additional actually external zone, that I did 
setup first as an additional manual zone in the internal dns using the 
Windows mmc, but later removed because I wanted to make use of an 
upstream forwarder. Forwarding for all external zones is configured in 
smb.conf.

Yes. And I think this is a usual setup for resolving zones on the 
internet. I assume a misunderstanding of my message on your side.

As I mentioned, this was just for debugging purposes. I know that direct 
write access to these files breaks the replication, etc.

It should not be responsible, because it is not the AD zone, as 
mentioned abouve but an additional external zone.

Do you have any additional hints?

Kind regards,
