Samba 4 includes an builtin DNS server that is required for proper operation of active directory. This internal DNS server is for AD functions only and does not provide caching DNS functions.  Therefore, further research and development will be required to integrate the Samba DNS with TinyDNS.

Samba 4 includes an builtin DNS server that is required for proper operation of active directory. This internal DNS server is for AD functions only and does not provide caching DNS functions. 

 

SME Server 9.0 includes a caching DNS (djb dnscache) that listens for DNS requests on the LAN IP address and the localhost.  This caching DNS then routes DNS requests for domains defined in the server-manager to tinyDNS and other requests to a resolving dns cache (djb dnscache.forwarder). 

 

One approach for DNS architecture with Samba 4 would have samba 4 primary dns requests to LAN clients, forwarding to the dnscache.forwarder service.  The primary dnscache instance and tinydns would then be obsoleted.
