ucr_dnsupdate.patch

The samba "dnsupdate" service periodically checks if a list of essential DNS records are present and refreshes them otherwise.

In one customer environment the UCS DC had several network interfaces, let's say one connected the client network and another to a backbone, and the backbone interface adresses should not be advertised to the clients.

The attached patch simply introduces a UCR variable which allows deactivation of the dnsupdate service. This would allow customers to manually adjust the DNS records.
