Active Directory-like deployments rely heavily on working DNS infrastructure. FreeIPA project handles this by providing an integrated DNS server based on Bind 9. Samba Active Directory also uses Bind 9, although in a different style. While both are capable to use an external DNS server infrastructure, ability to kickstart a whole enterprise environment from scratch with an integrated DNS server is valuable to administrators, as practice does show.

The talk will reflect on FreeIPA and Samba teams' experience on DNS requirements these Kerberos-dependent and certificate-heavy environments do have.
