The default DNS backend has changed to BIND9_DLZ. This means the DNS
records are stored in Samba4's AD tree instead of in a normal zone
file.
I've not tried the above, so am not sure exactly how to set it up.
There are some posts about it in the samba-technical mailing list
archives, though.
For the zone file, re-provision with the following option:
--dns-backend=BIND9_FLATFILE
The BIND9_FLATFILE backend is the old way. BIND9_DLZ and
SAMBA_INTERNAL are the two new methods. BIND9_DLZ needs a recent
version of bind with DLZ dlopen support. The SAMBA_INTERNAL does not
yet support signed DNS updates (last I heard).
Since I provisioned samba4 before the DLZ option was available I have
stuck with BIND9_FLATFILE for now.
If you're just starting out, you might want to try the DLZ backend.
