David, I don't run the erase, not knowing if it cause any troubles. The servers which I have access are all production ;-) Yesterday I discover another things, one network has still some xp32 vm running and thoses are correctly resolved 22910 chm g_w-domusr loulou-xp32 (ipv4:192.168.50.167:1026) NT1 xp or win7 are all sharing the same infrastructure, where dhcp leases are all static reservation for the windows 7 workstation and it is the dchp server which create the dns name. with this kind of configuration host test2017 { hardware ethernet e8:40:f2:0a:13:78; fixed-address 192.168.50.250; ddns-hostname test2017; } the name is correctly registered in the dynamic zone, and works dig test2017 test2017.disney.interne. 3600 IN A 192.168.50.250 dig -x 192.168.50.250 250.50.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN PTR test2017.disney.interne. Now the xp workstation get a free dynamic lease, but the dns is registered the same way and also name resolution works identically. I was still not able to understand why in the tdb it fail for the win7 and work for xp32 for example. I can provide you whatever information you need to have.
