Should, yes. But it doesn't.  That was the first syntax I 'guessed'.  It
does not work.

barbel:~ # samba-tool dns update 127.0.0.1 micore.us micore.us A
192.168.231.132 192.168.5.2
Password for [administrator at MICORE.US]:
ERROR(runtime): uncaught exception - (9701,
'WERR_DNS_ERROR_RECORD_DOES_NOT_EXIST')
  File "/opt/s4/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py",
line 167, in _run
    return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/opt/s4/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/dns.py", line
814, in run
    del_rec_buf)

I believe this value does not really exist in the micore.us / SOA record
but in some kind of 'unnamed' record.  It is wierd.

barbel:~ # /opt/s4/bin/samba-tool dns query 127.0.0.1 micore.us @ ALL
Password for [administrator at MICORE.US]:
  Name=, Records=3, Children=0
    SOA: serial=12, refresh=900, retry=600, expire=86400,
ns=barbel.micore.us., email=hostmaster.micore.us. (flags=600000f0,
serial=12, ttl=3600)
    NS: barbel.micore.us. (flags=600000f0, serial=1, ttl=900)
    A: 192.168.231.132 (flags=600000f0, serial=1, ttl=900)
  Name=_msdcs, Records=0, Children=0
  Name=_sites, Records=0, Children=1
  Name=_tcp, Records=0, Children=4
  Name=_udp, Records=0, Children=2
  Name=barbel, Records=1, Children=0
    A: 192.168.5.2 (flags=f0, serial=3, ttl=900)
  Name=DomainDnsZones, Records=0, Children=2
  Name=ForestDnsZones, Records=0, Children=2
