I'm looking down the barrel of much the same issue.  We have Samba 4
with internal DNS, and workstation name registration works, but we need
to register other names and we really need to capture the name
registration events for other purposes [for one thing, maintaining a
reverse lookup].

Generally I don't like the small of the content at the above link, it
seems terribly hackish.  And what happens when the Kerberos ticket
expires?

Anyway, if you turn anything up please post back to this tread, and if I
find anything I'll do the same.

As an aside we have previously used WINS Hook for this purpose, but that
is inoperable in Samba 4.
